EXCLUSIVE: Homeland, DOJ Prepare for Zimmerman Verdict Riots
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | July 10, 2013 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 07/11/2013 11:19:00 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

On Wednesday, Sanford Chief of Police Cecil Smith told Breitbart News exclusively that there is “nothing out there” suggesting civil unrest will take place in the city following the George Zimmerman verdict. He did state, however, that the Police Department had been coordinating with federal authorities, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice. More specifically, Smith stated that the Sanford PD had been coordinating with Community Relations Service regional director Thomas Battles at the DOJ.

Battles is currently under fire for his involvement in the CRS’ work with regard to “marches, demonstrations, and rallies” related to Trayvon Martin, as well as providing support for protest deployment in Florida, and onsite mediation and conciliation during demonstrations.

In 2012, Amy Carswell of the Miami-Dad County Community Relations Board wrote, “Congratulations to our partners, Thomas Battles, Regional Director, and Mildred De Robles, Miami-Dade Coordinator and their co-workers at the U.S. Department of Justice Community Relations Service for their outstanding and ongoing efforts to reduce tensions and build bridges of understanding and respect in Sanford, Florida.” Battles responded, “Thank you Partner. You did lots of stuff behind the scene to make Miami a success. We will continue to work together.”

They stoke the flames first, then prepare. I wonder who’s itching to try out all their toys?

The DOJ and Obama are not “prepping” for riots..they are looking forward to them..Obama wants riots, its something he has been salivating for since he took office, if he gets it he won’t be able to contain his happiness

There is something called the “Hegelian dialectic” which used to be all the rage before Alinsky entered the popular lexicon, and this situation smacks of it, e.g. foment a problem behind the scenes, then jump in as the savior to avert the manufactured crisis. The whole “green energy” thing is another noteworthy example. Those who actually do the fomenting are known as “community organizers”. I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader to ponder who that person or persons might be.

There will only be riots if Zimmerman is acquitted.

I find myself in a strange predicament, I don’t want anybody hurt but I’m on the riot side of this case.

Wondering who else they are coordinating with!?

Sort of an institutionalized Munchhausen's Syndrome...

Is there that much hubris in DC or is there something in the water?

Homeland, DOJ Prepare for Zimmerman Verdict Riots

Preparing by busing in rioters? Preparing by briefing race-baiters? Preparing by asking Maxine Waters to speak?

Preparing is an awfully generic term....

My guess is that if Zimmerman is acquitted then Eric Holder will charge him with inciting to riot.

“Sanford Chief of Police Cecil Smith”

Let me just make an educated guess.

The very angry shooting daggers out of his eyes City Manager that took the stand- Bonaparte- who fired the white Police Chief hired a Black Police Chief

Am I right?

No way that guy hired a White Police Chief

They're ill-equipped to do so.

They’ll be celebrating like their team won a championship and the DOJ will be guarding the parade. They might even order the populous out in the streets to wave flags.
