A new-yeardy weirdy or two

The summary write-ups, as always, come from Anna's News Clippings:

After praising artificial-intelligence-based tool Draft One for saving
him 6-8 hours of report-drafting time per week, Police Sergeant Rick
Keel stated that Heber City, Utah, law enforcement has also 'learned
the importance of correcting [...] AI-generated reports' created by
combining large language models with image analysis.  This discovery
came about after the department had to explain an official statement
that a cop had transformed into a frog: 'The body cam software and the
AI report writing software picked up on the [audio from a] movie that
was playing in the background', Disney's /The Princess and the Frog/.
  The department has not stated whether it plans to start indicating
which parts of its reports come from AI vs. officers.  It did state
that Draft One performs better than the tool it had tried earlier.

     Don't fear ~ Draft One!
     

On Christmas, Cody Wayne Adams was minding his own business in the
back yard of his Comanche, Oklahoma, home when an elderly woman a few
blocks away said 'ouch' before passing away mid-conversation.  The two
events were connected: Adams, 33, had been practising with his
gift-to-self Glock .45 handgun, two magazines of ammunition, and a Red
Bull can, and a bullet entered the old lady's chest as she was sitting
on a porch half a kilometre away with a baby in her lap.
  The police made the connection after ascertaining that all but one
residence within firing range of the shooting had 'suitable shooting
backstops or firing locations'.  Adams, who began to cry when a deputy
informed him of the link, faces a charge of first-degree
manslaughter.

At the payment window of the Grand Island, Nebraska, McDonald's
drive-through, local man Michael Dickinson hadn't pulled close enough
to pay easily.  He was, however, near enough that stretching through
his car window left him pinned between the fast-food outlet and his
door frame in what Police Division Chief Dean Elliot later termed a
freak accident.  A McDonald's employee who tried to free Dickinson via
the passenger door suffered injuries and proved unable to prevent the
69-year-old's fatal squishing.

     Kind mechanics, oil ~ Michael Dickinson!
