Rich Lowery makes a sensible point, then gets trounced on by the liberals on the panel....in particular Andea Mitchell. Everywhere it says "OVERTALK" it's someone freaking out about what Lowery said because it doesn't fit their narrative.
RICH LOWRY:
Perhaps. But, you know, you look at Ferguson specifically, this is an area where the governmental structures haven't caught up to the demographic change over the last two decades or so. And that's something you take care of simply by organizing and voting. But what I really object to is you can discuss all these problems, but let's not pretend that this particular incident was something it wasn't.
If you look at the most credible evidence, the lessons are really basic. Don't rob a convenience store. Don't fight a policeman when he stops you and try to take his gun. And when he yells at you to stop with his gun drawn, just stop, and none of this would've happened.

EUGENE ROBINSON:

EUGENE ROBINSON:
No, there were conflicting testimony on--

CHUCK TODD:
So Michael Brown is not Trayvon Martin?
EUGENE ROBINSON:
No, no. He's not Trayvon Martin. And neither is Darren Wilson George Zimmerman.
CHUCK TODD:
George Zimmerman. Right.
EUGENE ROBINSON:
Right. So there are clear differences. You know, we're not in the relitigation business. So we won't go into the whole thing. But there was conflicting testimony, there were witnesses who simply were not believed, who said otherwise. And there were witnesses who were believed who--
CHUCK TODD:
And I think that's going to be something--
(OVERTALK)
EUGENE ROBINSON:
--that was what happened.
RICH LOWRY:
The simple evidence backs up Officer Wilson's version.
