On November 19, 2011, at approximately 5 a.m., my father, 68-year-old Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr., was at his home located at 135 S. Lexington Avenue in White Plains, New York. He was a 20-year veteran of the Westchester County Department of Corrections, and he proudly served the United States of America as a Marine, receiving an honorable discharge. He stood about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and he suffered from a heart condition. His medical alert device sent an alert to his service provider, which placed a call to the City of White Plains Department of Public Safety. In response to the call, police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians went to my father’s home. Once at his house, the police knocked on my father’s door and were verbally greeted by him. He told them that he did not need assistance and that there was no medical emergency. He told them that he did not call them. Despite being told that there was no need for their services, the police refused to leave and insisted that my father let them into his home. My father had not committed any crime, and he declined to let them into his home. My father communicated with police at length, and his medical alert service provider advised the White Plains Police Department that they wanted to withdraw their request for medical assistance because there was no emergency. Despite this information, the police continued to insist that they gain an entry to my father’s apartment. During the incident, the police banged on my father’s door over and over again, causing him to fear for his life. In fact, my father contacted his medical alert service provider while the police were banging on his door and asked them for help. He told them that the White Plains Police employees were outside his door and were going to kill him. The medical alert service provider recorded the communications between the police and my father. During the incident, the police were disrespectful to my father and threatened him as he stood in his apartment and told them that he just wanted to be left alone. The police continued to bang on my father’s door for approximately an hour. During that time they taunted my father, cursed at him, and called him a "n****r." They ultimately broke through his apartment door and forced their way into his apartment, all without his consent. Upon entering his home, and without warning or prior verbal warnings or orders, police immediately used a Taser weapon against my father and attempted to shock him with the Taser’s electricity. My father was standing approximately six to eight feet away from the officers, and he was wearing nothing but boxer shorts when the police began their assault against him. After using the Taser against my father, everything else is questionable except for the fact that two 40 caliber rounds were fired into my father which resulted in his death. In my opinion my father was murdered! We are asking the Westchester County D.A. to bring a criminal indictment, and we call on the United States Department of Justice or the New York State Attorney General to prosecute this as a hate crime, since it appears that his killing was motivated by hate.

Extend the "Do not call" registry (for the state of Michigan) to include include political "robo" calls from candidates, organizations, and legislative perspectives.

What is at issue is how the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System has decided to arbitrarily interpret A.R.S. 38-849. The intent of A.R.S. 38-849 (D) was to avoid double dipping which is what happens when a member of the PSPRS system “elects” to retire yet remains employed with the same municipality in a similar position and is able to collect both a retirement and a salary. While Michael Stewart’s case may seem similar on the surface in fact they are not. Mr. Stewart didn’t elect to retire. The injuries that he received while employed as a police officer prevented him from continuing to work as a police officer, he didn’t elect to retire, disabilities aren’t elective. The purpose of the disability pension is to provide some benefit for the years served when an officer is no longer able work in public safety due to an injury (not of their choice). Michael Stewart’s permanent disability prevents him from being an officer but doesn’t prevent him from being a productive member of society in a civilian position that is not a “similar position”.

Racism is a thing of the past, hating the color of someone's skin. However, today is a new day. Let us all get back connected with God our Creator, and stop allowing hate to enter our hearts. We are asking President Obama to look into this problem of racism, and find a ethical cure for it.

Who child will be next? 17yr old Trayvon Martin was killed on his way home coming from the local store with a bag of skittles & an ice tea drink in both of his hands. Shot by a drunken 28yr old "suppose to be neighborhood watchman" George Zimmmerman. Trayvon Martin voice is on a recording taken by 911 screaming for his mother to save him. Trayvon Martin lays in a cold grave..... while Zimmerman remain free. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?

the killing in fl of the young black male

I want justice for Travon. He had the right as a person too. No one should have the right to take innocent person life away and go free. In the eyes of God we are all equal. so justice for Travon I hope.
