Why Did The Obama Administration “Organize And Manage” Protests Against George Zimmerman?

By Michael Snyder, on July 10th, 2013

Is the Obama administration at least partially responsible for turning the George Zimmerman trial into such a huge national spectacle? Judicial Watch has obtained documents which prove that the Community Relations Service, a division of the Department of Justice, was sent to Sanford, Florida in late March 2012 “to help organize and manage rallies and protests against George Zim...“. This included spending quite a bit of money, arranging meetings between the NAACP and local leaders, and providing police escorts for protesters. Someone needs to ask Obama why the federal government was doing this. A story that should have never made national headlines now threatens to unleash a firestorm of racial fury unlike anything we have seen since the Rodney King verdict. One young man, a neighborhood watch captain, shot and killed another young man. This kind of thing happens in American cities every single night. George Zimmerman says that he did it in self-defense. He should be allowed to have his day in court and that should be the end of the matter. But instead, this thing has been hyped into a massive national spectacle and it is being used to divide us along racial lines. And it appears that we have clear evidence that the Obama administration was involved in doing the hyping.

The documents that Judicial Watch was able to obtain contain some absolutely startling information. Apparently the role of the Obama administration in these protests was quite substantial…

JW filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the DOJ on April 24, 2012; 125 pages were received on May 30, 2012. JW administratively appealed the request on June 5, 2012, and received 222 pages more on March 6, 2013. According to the documents:

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.”

But the involvement of the Department of Justice went far beyond just spending money and helping to organize and manage the protests.

Apparently, the Department of Justice was involved in setting up meetings between the NAACP and local officials, and the Department of Justice even arranged police escorts for protesters…

I think she was making sure it was on record. She didn't want him later saying his attorney's didn't inform him properly as OJ did in Veges. She is covering her tracks so an appeal won't happen for that reason.

I agree Denise... murder is murder especially when the young man was unarmed. None of this makes any sense to me at all.

Unfortunately, both sides of the black and white aisle are up in arms... ready to riot over a tragic circumstance. Further violence begets violence and so on and so forth. You can't gain a positive with a negative. If only people will learn...

I believe the Obama admin is doing this is because they have been waiting for an excuse to begin marshal law. Why else would they be stock piling bullets, fema camps, caskets, bringing in Russian military, militarizing police & so on? You certainly get more news on the internet then tv news!! Check out commieblaster.com they have headlines from other web sites. I think Obama is pushing UN Agenda 21 that will make our country part of a communist one world gov. The excuse is the environment but it also effects our economy, & equity (share the wealth) the document (found on the web) says it isn't fair for some to buy & sell property & gain wealth when not everyone can .

"Sherrif Dillon, some guy from the DOJ just left this box of money at the front desk and hinted we should release ZIM out the back door before midnight. All those angry protestors out their may come in here and try to lynch him. Maybe we should let him out to avoid that. Besides I'm underwater with the bank on my house so this could'nt have come at a better time". "Chester you and deputies get ready for the worst and lock that money up in my safe until I can return it". "Sheriff, the deputies are all divided on both sides of the demonstraters, it's just you and me". "Ok then put it in my car truck".

GREED AND MANUFACTURED HATRED and soon we will all suffer.
