One guess is that they got some region-based data on where the brown and Black people are, and are just going off that.
Another guess is that are targeting specific city council members. This I doubt — unless they’re getting that from local police depts, which I could totally believe.
My own theory is that they really, really, really don’t want white people to see what they’re doing, except through the eyes of the right-wing camera crews that follow them around.
Whatever it is, it’s pretty striking.

I don't get the "I failed to fact-check what the LLM generated when I was doing research/collating information for my article I am writing as a professional journalist" excuse.
First and most obviously, how about not using LLMs for this—because it is well established that they don't actually work for research, summarizing or collating data (that needs to be accurate).
But also: you need to fact-check anything and anyone as a journalist. It's not an optional thing to do, it's literally _what you do as a journalist_. You journal facts. It's like a cook forgetting to boil the pasta and serving it uncooked.
