Hey, I’m biased - I love GS.
However, I do see problems in the breed generally - but I just tire of the labels on a dog that is likely the most popular breed in the world and has been probably for some 50 years. They are numerous, so it isn’t shocking that a some would be poor characters, anyway.
But, that wasn’t even the point of this story. There was no indication (so far) of real “wrong-doing” by any dog. Why people had to launch into “bad GS” when they weren’t even talking about a dog FIGHT, I don’t know. The focus here should be the GS handler, not the dogs.

-if you have to keep your dog leashed in an off-leash dog park, perhaps your dog isn’t socialized enough (handler’s fault).
-Not being able to recognize big dog play from aggression (handler’s fault)
-Using a gun to separate the dogs because you can’t tell the difference - or get your own dog under control, even while leashed (handler’s fault)
This cop has some explaining to do (and should probably not own a GSD, or any other dog in the future)
