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 JW’s 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 Sanford’s 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 Obama’s and
Attorney General Eric Holder’s 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.

New Black Panther Party allegedly busing mobs to Sanford, Florida for expected riots
By Dean Chambers

Reports
have come in from eye witnesses in Sanford, Florida that the New Black
Panther Party, an extremist group that has called for the killing of
George Zimmerman if he is found not guilty, is busing in thousands to
that town. Sanford is the location of the trial and near the place where
the shooting of Trayvon Martin by Zimmerman occurred. There have been
threats of riots if Zimmerman is not found guilty and it is believed
that the New Black Panther Party and other extremist groups will attempt
to take advantage of racial tensions after a non guilty verdict by
organizing riots.
Local
police should be prepared for riots and Governor Rick Scott should be
prepared to call in the National Guard at a moment's notice if needed.
Local authorities should be ready to act and not allow this to create a
situation like the South Central Los Angeles riots of 1992 after the
verdict in the trial of the police officers that had beaten Rodney King.
It
must also be remembered that these events are not “spontaneous” as the
left wing media likes to portray them. They are deliberately organized.
The riots in Los Angeles in 1992 were organized by several extremist
left wing community organizer type groups including the local chapter of
the Revolutionary Communist Party.
It
should surprise no one that leftist groups are prepared to ignite
rioting after the upcoming verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.
Peaceful demonstrations should be allowed, but any degree of violence
should immediately be stopped by local authorities.
This
story will be updated if and when new information comes in. We strongly
advise anyone to avoid being involved in any efforts to incite riots
and stay out of the area if possible. We also condemn any efforts to
organize or incite riots.
An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
