I told my parents when I was visiting them I was in the market for a puppy.
Immediately they tried to take control of the situation and started sending me videos of pitbulls attacking people. Now I have half a mind to get a pitbull.

They have the reputation they have because of their powerful build.
Any dog can be caused to snap. Some shy away quickly while others go on offense. There are equal numbers of other breeds that can do the same damage as a snapped pitbull but they tend to get the focus of these events.

@StygianKohlrabi Yes there are many misnamed mixed dogs. I think there are in general 5 full pitbull breeds. There are also many English bull terrier mixes refered to as pitbulls which are not. Although they are equally powerful.
Some believe pits have a natural underlying aggression. The same can be said Shepard's and dobermans. I have been around almost all common breeds at one time or another including trained attack dogs and can say they all have a softer side. Even the ones trained to attack. They need to hear the magic word otherwise they can be just as friendly and playful as any other dog.
