BTW, regarding the terrible politicization of this attack, the sheriff and the press are absolutely complicit in this, as are some politicians. Immediately calling for "toning down rhetoric" implies that rhetoric had anything to do with this in the first place—and there is zero data that this is true. It goes to statements by others here that the US somehow is in a particularly polarized state, which any even casual student of American political history would know is utter rubbish.
