Ferguson fallout to rule Sunday shows

Fallout from a grand jury decision to not indict the police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown will continue to dominate Sunday’s political talk shows.

Attorneys for Brown’s family will appear on “Face the Nation” and “Fox News Sunday.” Fox will also interview the lawyer for Darren Wilson, who killed the unarmed African-American teenager in August.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D), a close ally of the Obama administration and the country’s only black state executive, will go on “Meet the Press.” Meanwhile, St. Louis alderman Antonio French will speak to “This Week.”

Several current and former law enforcement officials are slated to give their opinions on the latest developments in Ferguson, Mo., which has sparked violent protests in major cities across the country. 

Incoming Senate lawmakers also make a host of appearances, with Sens.-elect Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.) set to weigh in on the issues of the day and likely give insight on challenges facing the next Congress.
