YouTube Description

Chamberlain would have turned 69 years old. Today, a grand jury is set to begin reviewing evidence to see if the police committed a crime. We air part two of our recent interview with Kenneth Chamberlain's son, Kenneth Chamberlain Jr., and the family's lawyers, Mayo Bartlett and Abdulwali Muhammad. Bartlett discusses the latest in the case, and describes other cases of alleged police misconduct in White Plains, including individuals in a separate case who say officers beat them after they were booked them for a minor offense. "The police actually put hoods over their heads, similar to the way Lynndie England placed hoods over the individuals' heads in Abu Ghraib. And [the plaintiffs] had anti-Muslim and anti-Arab sentiments stated toward them by the [police]," says Bartlett, the former Chief of the Bias Crimes Unit of the Westchester County District Attorney's Office and the former chair of the Westchester County Human Rights Commission.
