WTH Is Going On: NY Police Shoot 68-Year-Old Veteran Dead After Being Called Out For A Medical Alert!

"As the Trayvon Martin case draws national
attention, we look at another fatal shooting of an
African-American male that has received far less
scrutiny. Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr., a 68-year-old
African-American Marine veteran, was fatally shot
in November by White Plains, NY, police who
responded to a false alarm from his medical alert
pendant. The officers broke down Chamberlain’s
door, tasered him, and then shot him dead. Audio
of the entire incident was recorded by the medical
alert device in Chamberlain’s apartment. We’re
joined by family attorneys and Chamberlain’s son,
Kenneth Chamberlain, Jr., who struggles through
tears to recount his father’s final moments,
including the way police officers mocked his
father’s past as a marine. "For them to look at my
father that way, (with) no regard for his life,
every morning I think about it," he says. " -
