When a psychotic hears voices in their heads, why is it always something like the neighbor's dog telling them to kill, not to plant a nice rose garden? Is it simply because the people who do plant rose gardens don't make the news, or is psychosis inherently violent?

No, psychosis is not inherently violent and violent acts by psychotic people are rare. The idea that auditory hallucinations are usually violent is just a stereotype. They can have a wide variety of content and are often voices that denigrate the person or comment on their actions. In some cases they are positive and may be the voices of dead loved ones, for example. It's a well-known fact that their content differs dramatically between cultures.
