Documents Obtained by Judicial Watch Reveal Justice Department Sent Community Relations Service Agents to Ferguson at the Request of the NAACP
From the outset, NAACP condemned alleged "militarized tactics" of Ferguson police, accused police of being "an invading army"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 2014 /Standard Newswire/ -- Judicial Watch announced today that on October 30, it obtained Department of Justice (DOJ) records revealing that the Obama administration sent eight Community Relations Service (CRS) agents to Ferguson, Missouri, at the request of the NAACP immediately following the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson. The DOJ contingent included CRS Director Grande Lum and Deputy Director Gilbert Moore.
Set up under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the secretive CRS, whose agents are required by law to "conduct their activities in confidence," reportedly has greatly expanded its role under President Barack Obama. Though the agency claims to use "impartial mediation practices and conflict resolution procedures," the documents obtained by Judicial Watch suggest that the unit deployed to Ferguson took an active role in working with those demanding the prosecution of police officer Wilson.
From the outset of the violence in Ferguson, the NAACP condemned police officers of "militarized tactics" in their attempts to restore order.
