Panel slams Conservative Rich Lowry's take on Ferguson killing as he illustrates his ignorance

[egbertowillies]

Conservative Rich Lowry showed a severe lack of understanding about all the issues that led up to the protesting and dissatisfaction in Ferguson. The diverse panel afforded a kind of push back that was a welcomed departure from past panels' reactions to Rich Lowry's statements.
Chuck Todd asked whether a post grand jury verdict Department of Justice (DOJ) action would open up more wounds or raise too many expectations. Helene Cooper, Pentagon correspondent for the New York Times, said that she believes DOJ action has the potential to make things worse.

She said she wish we could move on because the fundamental issue is still there. "It isn't necessarily about Michael Brown," Helene Cooper said. "It's that this keeps happening to Black men. It is that whole issue of driving while Black." She then recounts an article in the Wall Street Journal by her friend Gary Fields about what it feels like to be a two hundred fifty pound Black man walking down the street always under suspicion. I wrote my own essay titled "I was Trayvon Martin the day I came to America" during the Trayvon Martin killing that was strikingly similar in tone.
