Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained documents proving that the Department of Justice played a major behind-the-scenes role in organizing protests against George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is on trial for second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in February 2012.
Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the DOJ on April 24, 2012. According to the documents JW received, a little-known DOJ unit called the Community Relations Service deployed to Sanford, FL to organize and manage rallies against Zimmerman.
Among JWs findings:
March 25 27, 2012, CRS spent $674.14 upon being deployed to Sanford, FL, to work marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watch captain.
March 25 28, 2012, CRS spent $1,142.84 in Sanford, FL to work marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watch captain.
March 30 April 1, 2012, CRS spent $892.55 in Sanford, FL to provide support for protest deployment in Florida.
March 30 April 1, 2012, CRS spent an additional $751.60 in Sanford, FL to provide technical assistance to the City of Sanford, event organizers, and law enforcement agencies for the march and rally on March 31.
April 3 12, 2012, CRS spent $1,307.40 in Sanford, FL to provide technical assistance, conciliation, and onsite mediation during demonstrations planned in Sanford.
April 11-12, 2012, CRS spent $552.35 in Sanford, FL to provide technical assistance for the preparation of possible marches and rallies related to the fatal shooting of a 17 year old African American male. expenses for employees to travel, eat, sleep?
JW says the documents it obtained reveal that CRS is not engaging in its stated mission of conducting impartial mediation practices and conflict resolution, but instead engaged on the side of the anti-Zimmerman protesters.
On April 15, 2012, during the height of the protests, the Orlando Sentinel reported, They [the CRS] helped set up a meeting between the local NAACP and elected officials that led to the temporary resignation of police Chief Bill Lee according to Turner Clayton, Seminole County chapter president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The paper quoted the Rev. Valarie Houston, pastor of Allen Chapel AME Church, a focal point for protestors, as saying They were there for us, after a March 20 meeting with CRS agents.
Separately, in response to a Florida Sunshine Law request to the City of Sanford, Judicial Watch also obtained an audio recording of a community meeting held at Second Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Sanford on April 19, 2012. The meeting, which led to the ouster of Sanfords Police Chief Bill Lee, was scheduled after a group of college students calling themselves the Dream Defenders barricaded the entrance to the police department demanding Lee be fired. According to the Orlando Sentinel, DOJ employees with the CRS had arranged a 40-mile police escort for the students from Daytona Beach to Sanford.
These documents detail the extraordinary intervention by the Justice Department in the pressure campaign leading to the prosecution of George Zimmerman, said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. My guess is that most Americans would rightly object to taxpayers paying government employees to help organize racially-charged demonstrations.
Organizing such protests falls well withing both President Barack Obamas and Attorney General Eric Holders wheelhouses. Obama was a community organizer in his career prior to elective politics, a position that uses protests and street theater, along with threats, to obtain concessions from businesses and other political opponents. Holder has accused America of being a nation of cowards for not discussing racial issues enough. He also described black Americans as my people during a congressional hearing.
As the Zimmerman trial winds down, the threat of race riots should he be acquitted have risen.
Taking some enjoyment in the fact that at this very moment they’re in the Situation Room discussing “Oh, shiite, now that this is out, how do we STOP the riots now??”
Thanks for correcting me.
Sanford is 25 miles from Orlando? Wow. There was a vanity thread the other day about some FReeper going to WDW soon. Shoud they go or stay away?
Me? I’d stay the hell away from SoFlo and let the natives burn down the jungle.
Well, Ayers wife was a big fan of Charlie Manson...
When are the masses going to get it? This is corrupt, unethical, racist, unconstitutional and just plain thuggery. We are flooded every day with data from this communist administration. Does any of it sink in?
I'm hoping the average American is starting to say, "Hey, this isn't right." There's so much data. They have to be hearing about some of it. Let's hope they wake up and join the rebellion. Kudos to Nachum and others.
And to intimidate law-abiding, peaceful American citizens, even if that means that they are injured or killed.

Remember these threads from April of last year?:

Yep. Good point. I fully expect Holder and his DOJ goons to send out the riot squads to ENABLE the natives to not just burn down the ghettos, but the suburbs too.
Any arrests to be made will be against Creepy Ass Crackers who dare to defend their property.
Even worse-we are now a thugocracy on the lines of Zimbabwe and South Africa, where the government deliberately foments violence against whites while denying them justice and equal standing under the law.
Money...get back. I'm alright Jack, keep yer hands of my stack.....
Like he explained Operation Fast and Furious?
BTW, this was AFTER the FBI withdrew from the case after reviewing the facts and determining there was no civil rights violation present.
F***ing race pimps. I have no doubt the “just-us” department is quite keen on seeing Zimmerman dead.
This damned regime is hostile. There’s no other way to describe it.
Unreal eh? Drudge has it now too. Just called my Congressman’s office ..they said phone has been ringing offhook about it. I live about10 miles from courthouse so he’s hearing from a lot of po’d locals.
When we die.
Either they’ll see their mistake really fast, or they’ll die while with pandering words on their lips-”but, but, I was one of the good white people who agreed that white people have it coming!”
impeachment worthy IMO....#4354 At least
Later in the morning CNN chose to rerun that section. Bias and baiting is more than evident.
Mr. ‘Uniter’ allright. Use our tax dollars to pit us against each other in the streets!
