Your tax dollars at work, ladies and gentlemen: Judicial Watch used its trusty Freedom of Information Act crowbar to pry some more documents from the Most Transparent Administration in History, and what do you know, Obama’s Justice Department was actively helping to organize demonstrations and spread civil unrest.
Judicial Watch, Inc. (Judicial Watch) on April 24, 2012 launched an investigation into the Trayvon Martin case based on reports that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) had sent a secret team of “peacekeepers” to Sanflord, Florida, where Martin was shot on February 26, 2012 after wandering in a gated community after dark. George Zimmerman, a resident of the community and its neighborhood watch captain, is currently on trial for Martin’s death though he maintains he acted in self-defense.
Records obtained by Judicial Watch in response to local, state and federal public records requests show that the so-called peacekeepers are part of a large and growing division within DOJ called the Community Relations Service (CRS). Though CRS purports to spot and quell racial tensions nationwide before they arise, the documents obtained by Judicial Watch show the group actively worked to foment unrest, spending thousands of taxpayer dollars on travel and hotel rooms to train protesters throughout Florida. The peacekeepers also met with officials of the Republican National Convention, scheduled for several months later in Tampa, to warn them to expect protests in connection with Martin’s death.
Let me get this straight: they met with the RNC organizers to warn them about protests from the very same agitators DOJ spent thousands of dollars training?
The Daily Caller notes that one of the rallies assisted by your tax-funded public servants was headlined by racial arsonist Al Sharpton. You’re welcome, America.
This “large and growing division” of taxpayer-funded saboteurs needs to be de-funded immediately, and it’s probably time to give Attorney General Eric Holder another chance to commit perjury before Congress. He has a certain flair for it.
didn’t Dana Parino on the five say this evening that only twelve hundred dollars of taxpayer money was spent?
Dana was wrong
******************************************************************
She was wrong and she certainly was showing her ignorance. Apparently the DOJ has a whole department filled with highly paid bureaucrats dedicated to this FULL TIME. The government is paying for their salaries, pensions, awards, vacation and sick time, etc. The government also paid their expenses (airfare, hotel bills, per diem) for the groups that went to Florida. Hell, for all we know they had side trips to DisneyWorld or other tourist attractions in the Orlando area.
Dana is a RINO plain and simple—a Rove acolyte. She is part of the problem and definitely NOT part of finding solutions to our nation’s problems.
That, plus they may very well be wanting that "evil, Tim-McVeigh-loving, gun-fanatic, right-wing extremist" to start their Wag the Dog scenario.
nothing will be done because the gop is too busy playing kissy kissy to the media
When did what a union membership thinks matter? The membership is there to do what the union wants, not the other way around. That's why they have to have laws to make the dues mandatory, and take them out of your pay before you ever see the check.
“Peacekeepers” is the term used in “Hunger Games” for the States Police force / goon squad.
Hmmmm...not exactly a big smoking gun at Judicial Watch. The documents say they funds are for “community relations”( yes, that’s stupid, but where, exactly are the incitement fingerprints?
Can Kristalnacht be coming soon?
And why should they not? The only entity that can challenge unconstitutional and criminal behavior by the Executive breach is Congress; and half of that is in the hands of the Reid/Pelosi/black mafia cartel.
Until an alternative appears or is created, impunity is the rule of the day.
As far as the ordinary victim, American citizenry is concerned, "isn't 'Freedom' just another word for 'nothing left to lose?'"
No, the Supreme Court is as useless as ... without legal someone with 'standing' makes the critical and emphatic demand for a ruling.
Simply amazing. Middle of the day, all protesting with professional looking signs.
And they all say on the bottom, SEIU.
There never was a lot of comment about it but a couple of days before the election I saw SEIU ads on the internet calling for ‘votes for revenge for Trayvon’. Was this a well planned election shaper, or what? It turns my stomach.
Wow. Good catch.
