    Sorry, even a police person should be afraid of a charging rottweiler with a bite strength of 328 psi.

    If you’re asking why I’d bring up uncontrolled dogs in relation to an article about police shooting dogs, you’re just looking to pick a fight.

        Sorry, I assumed you could infer that uncontrolled dogs may exhibit more than one unwanted behavior.

        All dogs are biting dogs. Most fatalities are from dogs with high bite strength, but most dog bites are Retrievers like Labradors and Goldens.

          stop being lazy, no reason to expect readers to infer your points when you are conflating excitable with aggressive

          and dog bite statistics are meaningless without context, both those breeds are easily top 10 most common

          so post some methodologies please

            Oh, boy. I’m doing none of those things for randos on Lemmy just because they lack critical thinking.

              As an outside observer to this conversation, you’re actually just really bad at communicating your point properly.

                That’s fair, I’m not really giving these conversations a lot of effort because Lemmings tend to be needlessly contrarian and pick apart every little thing you say.

                  I get not giving a shit about rando convos or hell even feel like spouting random arguments

                  your original point about aggressive dogs isnt even wrong, some owners are shit

                  but cops shooting normally non aggressive excited dogs is a real problem and this deserves to not be muddled, a worked up golden because an asshole cop can’t wait for it to be secured doesn’t deserve to be killed

                    It is a problem. This article is about all dog deaths, from rabid dogs angling for ankles to the innocent by-standard poodle. I wish it had more info specific to incident breakdown.

          Teaching a dog not to jump up at people is one of the hardest behaviors to get rid of, as most guests/passerbys reward that behavior with pets and you have to tell everyone to stop doing that before your dog learns. Very few healthy and happy dogs attack people unprovoked. It is a different story however if they or their human is harassed by an asshole cop.
