It's what they are linked to. 2 of the 3 original links bring you to nothing more than "click bait" lists. Unsubstantiated, unresearched and unsupported internet opinion pieces (inserted into a discussion as factual) that lack reputable data sets, metrics, peer scrutiny etc. They're inserting a non-value added geo-political spin to a discussion about a local cop from Washington state hassling/threatening a motorcyclist.
I take no issue with the wiki links as I reference wiki myself on occasion (but understanding that a grain of salt must be taken with it).
I have nothing else to add to this subject and will move on now to something more important...like the aerodynamic instability RLETS impart at triple digit speeds.
The only link I could find in Peter's original post was to a wikipedia article which did not seem to me to support the other material quoted which, on a quick search, could not locate. Having now followed the links, they are, as you say, click bait and not worthy either of reading or quoting.
You are right to return to pondering RLETs; it's way more important and far less contentious.
The story quoted is of mild interest, but I suspect all that needs to be said now has been.
