Bingo.

And even if the scenario wasn't a planned "psy-op", any occurrence which would lend itself to being a tool for the operatives seeking to exploit, will be pounced upon and manipulated after the fact in order to facilitate the agenda you have laid out in your post.

Sheriff Clarke has the confidence of the people even after the barrage of outside influence who sought to intentionally undermine and smear this man precisely because he is black and doesn't sing the same tune that the exploiters, masquerading as advocates, want him to sing. He cares not for Democrat or Republican; only for common sense and truth.

Apparently, the divisive rhetoric is more palatable for those who continue buying into the defeatist race-mongering mind-set.
