Race debate still in Sunday spotlight

Police violence and race relations within the criminal justice system will dominate Sunday’s political talk shows as the Eric Garner case reignites national debate.

The shows will come after two weeks of protests that followed two nationally watched decisions against prosecuting white police officers who killed unarmed black men.

Ray Kelly, the NYPD’s former commissioner, will join New York Mayor Bill de Blasio on “This Week.”

Here’s the lineup:

ABC’s “This Week”: George Stephanopoulos will interview New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) and former New York Police Department Commissioner Ray Kelly about the Garner case. Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), who is considering running for president in 2016, will discuss the future of the Republican party after its sweeping wins in the midterm elections.

NBC’s “Meet the Press”: Esaw Garner, widow of Eric Garner, will discuss the Garner grand jury decision, along with civil rights advocate Al Sharpton, president of the National Action Network.
