I can't take it anymore, my across the street neighbor is beyond irresponsible with his pit bull!!

This dog has gone after 3 people, attacked 1 dog, and has killed many small furry wild animals (including a skunk *gag*). It also tried to kill another neighbor's out door cats.
1 of the people was taking care of it while the owner was at work, one was talking to the first person while he was outside with it (on a leash), and the last was today, the owners next door neighbor was outside on his own lawn and the dog went after him for no reason, the first person he went after grabbed him.
The dog was just being walked past his house, it was a 10lb-er, never caused any problems.

When the pit bull isn't attacking he just lays on the lawn or casually walks around, I have no idea what triggers him with people. All furry animals trigger him.

That's just the stuff I know about for sure, I've also heard a rumor that the dog was part of the reason why his wife left.

Yet the idiot won't put it on a leash and frequently lets very small children pet it! He finally put up a fence around his back yard, but it's only 4ft, the dog could totally jump it. If anything the fence makes me more nervous, I'm afraid he'll leave the dog out there.
He's out front every night now that the weather's nice for at least a little bit, idk about the back yard.

There are 2 children next door to him, 2 in the next house (one is severely autistic), and 2 very small children across the street a few houses down. About 30 kids walk past his house twice every day for the bus stop and there are 2 parks nearby.

I can't handle the stress anymore. I have so much horrible stuff going on in my life I don't need to live in fear every time I go outside, especially when I have Lola with me. I don't take her outside with me if I know that dog is outside.
I felt so bad, one night I was going to take her out to pick up dinner, she had her harness on and we were ready to walk out the door, looked outside and the dog was there. Poor Lola had to stay home and I had to freak out the entire time I was outside.

My family won't let me call the police or animal control because they don't want to make the first person the dog attacked mad (he's good friends with the owner), he lives next door and helps us sometimes.
They insist he'll know who called and that when their friend had animal control called on them they were told who called (I think they just guessed).
My town does have leash laws.

I've already started parking in the driveway instead of on the street, which is really inconvenient.
I'm going to get a big black umbrella and I'm thinking of buying this spray

Amazon.com : SprayShield Animal Deterrent Spray...
If I can convince them to let me call, do you think they'd do anything? I'm trying to figure out what time he's usually outside and take pictures.
