this story not near as entertaining to the tards on here because it doesn't involve a pit bull and black folks
I can't speak for the black folks comment, but pit bull stories are going to get more play than German Shepard stories due to the fact that people can't believe they're still allowed to exist.

34 U.S. dog bite-related fatalities occurred in 2015. Despite being regulated in Military Housing areas and over 700 U.S. cities, pit bulls contributed to 82% (28) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up about 6.6% of the total U.S. dog population.
^^That is why pit bull threads get so many responses. There is no reason it should continue happening.

eradicating the breed isn't the answer though
I especially like the try hards that say they will shoot a pit if someone in their neighborhood has one.

All of that information is false or unverifiable. Using dogsbite.org as a source is a like lifting your statistics from a crazy hobo doing Mel Gibson impressions.
There are serious professional organizations like the AVMA and the CDC that give informed opinions on animal policy. They have seriously studied the issue and concluded that dog breeds are not a variable that should be addressed in the way that people who would like to ban "pit bulls" would like to see done.
The best available studies on the effect of breed targeted legislation have concluded they are ineffective in reducing the number of incidents and the trend is now towards a reversal of this type of pandering and useless legislation. In previous years a range of other dog breeds including bloodhounds, german shepherds, dobermans, and rottweilers have enjoyed the same reputation that pit bulls presently do in parts of the public. These are signs of public opinion, not breed characteristics being a primary issue.
