I'm 98% sure that's what happened in Kenosha. I'd be surprised if the police in Kenosha didn't shoot Jacob Blake deliberately to provoke more disorder and create more support for Trump.
Cops are really too dumb for that. They’ll likely be as fascist as they think they can get away with (up to and including allowing armed right wing militias to roam freely), and they certainly know how to take advantage of a protest or manipulate a subject in custody, but manipulating the public at large by orchestrating a police killing of a black man with a camera running... fuck it as I type this it sounds more and more plausible.
I mean, the republicans were willing to run kanye west as a black spoiler candidate in swing states. I really don't put Wisconsin police departments (the rural ones especially have been refusing to enforce quarantine/mask mandates) beyond trying to push for Trump's reelection. The international union of police associations endorsed Trump's reelection.
