this is exactly the kind of uninformed (and poorly worded) propaganda that these dogs have to deal with.
if you read this thread at all, or researched this breed you would know they were bred to loyal, obedient and NON-aggressive towards humans. yes is many cases they were bred to fight OTHER DOGS, but even more so they were bred as working dogs and loyal companions.
these dogs were not bred for the police/army specifically although they have been used extensively in both of those areas. they were bred for farmers, ranchers, and families. the sad reality is that because of their physical prowess they have been trained for dog fighting, but as 12clicksmichele said human aggressive fighters were culled. a fighting dog is no good if it attacks its handler.
another reason they were used as fighting dogs aside from their physical attributes is their tendency to have an incredibly high prey drive. this contributes to them being dog aggressive, however with proper work and training a bully can be just as happy and social as any other dog.
