At this point, it's extremely unlikely; we're deep into non-canon territory. Though Tennessee does say that Carmelita reminded him of somebody. for me, it's because the fox's were another reason why the cooper bloodline continues to exist, constantly intervening with his plans and attempting to put the immortal crook in his place, which would be infuriating for clockwerk. And thus he ends up bringing many of the law enforcing careers of the Fox's to an abrupt end (they never retired), but after they concieve children much like the coopers. though there would be cases in which clockwerk kills the wife and children of some of carmelita's ancestors with those ancestors reacting by exacting cruel revenge on clockwerk and remarrying to another person.

simply put, because everybody hates the police.

He would be more cruel towards Carmelita's bloodline than Cooper's.

This is a more opinionated question but, if you were a criminal would you want to to take revenge on the cop who arrested you/blew your operations and his family?
