Docs: DOJ Provided Support for Trayvon Rallies
by Ben Shapiro 10 Jul 2013, 10:28 AM PDT
On Wednesday, Judicial Watch announced that the Department of Justice had turned over documents in response to a Freedom of Information Act request showing that the Community Relations Service (CRS), a small division of the DOJ, was sent to Sanford, Florida after the Trayvon Martin shooting to help manage rallies and protests.
In April 2013, Breitbart News' Lee Stranahan first reportedthe role of the CRS in Sanford.
The new documents show that from March 25 through April 12, 2012, the CRS spent thousands of dollars helping organize and “work” marches and demonstrations regarding Trayvon Martin. Tasks included:
Working “marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watch captain”; Providing “support for protest deployment in Florida”; Providing “technical assistance to the City of Sanford, event organizers, and law enforcement agencies for the march and rally on March 31”; Providing “technical assistance, conciliation, and onsite mediation during demonstrations planned in Sanford.”
In April, the CRS reportedly “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.”

Rallies were held in March and April of 2012. GZ was indicted on April 11th. FYI
Absolutely.
"Impeachment is not going to happen.
Holder and Obama can do ANYTHING they want, and not face repercussions, because they are black. Period - end of story."
Welcome to South Africa Northwest.
Waiting for one (1) Republican Congressional Representative to mention.
They may all be a bit timid on this issue. Don’t want to be branded as a racist.
Thanks for the pings.
All Hell will break out WHEN Zimmerman is acquited....and not just in FloriDuh. The rioters all need new flat screen TV’s., and the busses are already being loaded.....heading for Sanford.
I’ve been watching this trial closely. It reeks of political machinations. What a travesty!
Needed one Republican to step forward and utter the simple truth:
Of course, in many places there will be a violent reaction, upon which they are counting to suppress opposition to their policies.
The inevitable 25 or so Negroes who will die in Chicago at the hands of other Negroes this week will of course not be claimed as "Sons of Obama."
As your aware, there have been more deaths in Thug land then in Iraq over the past year. And it will not change, even though Illinois finally passed a concealed carry law.
