racist!
also, most police dogs are Belgian Sheppards.
the German Sheppards are too stupid and difficult to train.
belgian sheppards have a smooth bite, with a shake, and an easy release, they do not instinctively lock down, nor do they generally go for the neck.
pit fighting dogs instictively go for the kill, while herding dogs usually nip, threaten and pursue, using the threat of violence to controll the sheep, and when confronted b the predator or violent opposition they try to disable the opponent (hamstringing leg breaking etc...) rather than getting that neck bite and riding the wolf/bear/human to the ground.
the romans used This:
for similar purposes but with predictably roman results.

Difficult to train?
You obviously have never had a real GS in your home. I will put my Shepherd against any animal for IQ and temperment. Sure there are meaner, but smarter, no way. Mine is a working Shepherd, not one of those sloped ass AKC show dogs. There are 3 main breeds of shepherds and the best from that 3 are the ones that are bred from Czechoslovakia as working class dogs.
Some refer to them as flatbacks and they will eat a regular Shepherd for lunch. So before you dis, know what you speak of.
