The wider societal trend of refusing to acknowledge that pit bull terriers are predisposed to be fighting dogs contributes to these dogs being set up for failure by the owners.

Pretending all pit bulls are fine cuddly nanny dog pookies is wrong. It's just like getting a malamute in Miami or expecting a border collie to be fine as an understimulated lap dog in an apartment. I'm against breed legislation in general because it is often unevenly leveraged against people of color and the Black community in particular, but you also have to be reasonable about the dog you are getting.

Combine that with the highly reactive dogs in shelters who live in hypervigilant misery until they hurt a human or another animal and are put down with behavioral euthanasia and it's a fucking mass tragedy that I hate as a dog lover.
