Sheriff Francis took part in undercover training at the main office to hone his covert operations skills and avoid further complications borne from potentially getting cops killed. In recent weeks the Sheriff has received plenty of unwelcome attention from people who have a problem with police pointing guns at each other.
To prepare for the training Francis reportedly spent the lion's share of his day in his office behind closed doors coming out once to "get into character by the dumpster" according to sources close to the Sheriff. Later he emerged for some covert disguises practice (see video.)
Although the Sheriff was unavailable for comment on the training he did release a statement scrawled on the wall behind the SO over the dumpster illustrating his grasp of the new covert methods. "Stop throweng socx in the trash! food taist like feet," the statement read.
The Sheriff's covert performance makes one thing clear, he's a pretty fair actor.
What in the hell is going on around here?

Background for the un-initiated:
November 2010 saw Francisco Rivero elected on platform of transparency and reform with the help of an indicted pot grower and a character assassination blog. Not quite our proudest day but not as bad as some other days. Actually the jury is still out on this one so stay tuned.
Francisco didn't like anything or anyone remotely associated with the former Sheriff so he set out wiping the slate clean by changing the deputies uniforms, destroying the Office of Emergency Services, firing volunteer reserves, demoting some officers and promoting others, taking away correctional officers guns and coffee then giving them a cartoon badge, unplugging the kitchen at the Lowerlake substation,alienating every other law enforcement agency in this county and those of neighboring Mendocino, picking fights with local government officials and squabbling with the state and the county over courthouse security which it turned out wasn't his call.
And then things got weird.
