Judicial Watch has released documents showing the latest abuse of power by the Department of Justice (DOJ): helping “organize and manage rallies and protests against George Zimmerman.”
Whatever one may think about the guilt or innocence of Zimmerman in his ongoing trial, we should all agree that the chief law enforcement agency of the federal government should not be involved in stage-managing public protests. Yet according to the documents obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Community Relations Service at Eric Holder’s DOJ “deployed to Sanford, FL, to work marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen.”
The Community Relations Service provided “support for protest deployment” and “technical assistance” to event organizers for a march and rally on March 31. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Community Relations Service staff even helped organize a meeting between the city of Sanford and the local NAACP that resulted in the temporary resignation of police chief Bill Lee. One of the local pastors whose church was the focal point of protests aptly summarized the bias of Community Relations Service when she was quoted as saying that it was “there for us.” Apparently, it wasn’t “there” for Zimmerman.

This is not the country I grew up in.
It also indicates to me the so-called wonderful conservative Governor of Fl was in on it too with the DOJ. He is the one who assigned that bull dog Angela Corey to find a way to drum up a charge against Zimmerman.
FRiends, we have no allies in this Government as true conservatives/state rights supporters.
They all are against us in one way or another.
What abuse of power?
Ocommie and Holder want to destroy the country and they are using their power to do so. Not abuse, but use.
Unbelievable. In my entire life, I’ve never seen a Justice department that operates like this one.
They seem to be (no… They are) openly flaunting the law.
The Clinton Justice Department is pretty damned bad, part of it was due to their incompetence, part of it to their arrogance, and part of it due to their corruption.
The Obama Justice Department seems to be trying to start a race war, plain and simple. Just amazing…
“When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide ...Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride...”
Wow. How much ammo do I have? How much is enough?
Not the country I grew up in either...
UNTIL we’re officially a third world hellhole it’s still ‘abuse’ of power.
So why didn’t Boehner, Cantor, Ryan and the courageous House Republicans write and pass a bill today to defund the DOJ Community Relations Service? Why didn’t Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Orin Hatch, Lamar Alexander, Susan Collins, Marco Rubio, Bob Corker, Lisa Murkowski, run to the Senate floor and demand an end to this affront to the Constitution?
The reason — they are too busy working to shove amnesty down our throats. After all, they are so much better than the alternative.
Over $100 million spent by Judicial Watch and they finally come up with something interesting? Who woulda thunk?
this is coming from a guy that started his tenure by calling Americans racist.
we are one crisis from full blown gestapo SS.
all the framework is there.
kill list drones NDAA NSA IRS EPA.
disregarding standing laws and directives of court orders.
its here. just waiting to light the fuse.
Agreed, Donna.
We’re standing ankle-deep in gunpowder and waiting for the spark.
Awwww common they are just getting even dont you know... Valerie Jarret said they would...
All you slave owners should have expected this... What? you dont own slaves... nevermind you just deserve it.... cause your probably white, possibly christian and even ... shudder .... hetrosexual...
Second question is whether or not I am properly armed. Short range, yeah, three shotguns and a couple of handguns that I can shoot well with, if I have my glasses on. I don’t hunt, so ranged is sketchy. I haven’t fired those very often. Then again, 100% of this area is “non-youth” and heavily armed, so I think we’re okay for the moment. Ex-wife (who has the kids a little more than me) is reasonably proficient with a .357, and no “teens” or “youths” live anywhere near. I think we are okay. I agree with you, need more ammo.
That's why the Obama-Holder DoJ is now the Obama-Holder Department of Just Us and Our People.
.. and as for the threat against Zimmerman especially if he is found not guilty, DoJUOP will be in charge of Zimmerman's alternate ID.. kind of like a witness protection. Imagine what's in store for Zimmerman being given a new identity and a residence in a black inner-city neighborhood.
Obama is moving into the same league as Hitler and Stalin and if he isn’t stopped, he will be their equal.
