Watch MSNBC’s Michelle Bernard Exploit Ferguson In Name Of Big Government

In a November 24 edition of Hardball, MSNBC contributor Michelle Bernard used the tragic case in Ferguson as another reason for increasing government control.

Bernard called for the Justice Department to “get involved” in prosecuting Ferguson, Missouri, prior to the outcome of the grand jury proceedings before she even had a chance to hear and see the evidence.

The Ferguson grand jury decided Monday night not to indict Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of Michael Brown, 18, on August 8, 2014, moments after Brown committed a strong-arm robbery with another young man.

Ferguson riots have broken out in the wake of the grand jury decision, as the widespread looting of businesses, destruction of property, assaults on police officers, and hundreds of gunshots engulfed the city throughout the night. There were 29 arrests made around Ferguson, according to police who gave a press conference Tuesday.

Following weeks of agitation, much of it from supposed leaders and irresponsible media outlets who give voice to people like Michelle Bernard, any futile call for peace failed to have an impact.

Bernard insisted that Brown was the latest “casualty” of a nationwide “war on black boys,” and blamed conservatives who favor “state’s rights” by suggesting that the ideology was simply an a mask for racists.
