I adore pitties, they are some of the most sweet pups and I’ve never met one I didn’t like. That said, I have a healthy respect for what they are capable of.
I always try to remain respectful of the power of animals. But when it comes to dogs, I’ve never heard of a Golden Retriever or a chocolate lab mauling someone. Startle response bites, sure.
I could just be another dolt who’s been taken in by fear mongering towards pitties, I don’t know the statistics. But I try to keep in mind the potential for what they could do, same for Dobermans, Germans, Akitas etc. Also, the aggressive little ankle biters, but I’ll usually just pick them up and they don’t know what to do.

Eh, all dogs are capable of biting. It would make more sense to say that about larger type of dog, imo.
It’s valid to be aware of the fact any dog has the potential to bite, though. So that’s something I can agree on respecting.
