Obviously, I haven't read the article, but the concluding paragraph you quote sounds spurious.

fake news!

Eh.

That's my way of saying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The last paragraph actually directly followed the last one from the quote above it. I didn't know what you were referring to in it as incorrect. It seems accurate, although I would note that police plundering the populace for revenue is not always relegated to racial minorities. For instance, civil asset forfeiture and highway speed trap towns are equal opportunity ventures.
