It depends. Did he tell them to do it? Did he watch it happen and ignore it?
I think a lot depends on understanding. If it was someone else acting on their own without his input, then I wouldn't think it would be inclusive of him. People can do bad things and be sneaky about it. So for me, it would be about if or not he let it happen out of willful ignorance?
Although I don't think it's necessarily optimal, I believe it's best to assume innocence until proven guilty. From a personal perspective, I don't know enough about it to form a position of guilt. Maybe he was being a bad dude and maybe he wasn't.
The four incidents mentioned by Mr. Agenda all happened while Clarke was sheriff. One of the incidents went to court. An attempt to say 'I don't know enough about it to form a position of guilt' is absurd, as Clarke clearly knew what was going on and did fuck all to stop it. This makes him a horrible human being.
If by some minute, infinitesimal chance he completely missed a lawsuit in which his office had to pay a judgement of six million dollars to a rape victim in their custody, he was an absolutely horrible sheriff.
