 I wrote this on Facebook page for Mr Chamberlian. Want to reread it. Maybe re-write. But the point is officers named Carelli, Hart and Sgt Fortrell (sp) is all anyone knows. Why was this man killed? I read something about beibg accused of murder himself, a robbery...but these are the kinds of things people sometimes make up in order to have their way, by misleading the police...omg so much time waste....Its not racism...its just the bullshit factor at work, taking a toll on our ability to tolerate and swallow it...

 Please don't make the mistake of minimizing this tragedy as simply "racially biased". Other than thin blue line cover ups that go on everyday with police across the country, this story has NOTHING in common with Trevon Martin's and to reduce Mr Chamberlain's story so it fits into someone's cliff notes is just as wrong. This story reveals the degree to which our society is controlled and censored. Why isn't anyone talking to the African American officer who sent Mr Chamberlain's niece away from the scene while it was unfolding? How historical would it be for Bahbah Wawa to interview him? So what if he looses his job-there would be a book deal waiting? Or maybe not if he too is just another idiot like the rest of them. What was going on in his mind? Is he also a racist? The "issue" of racism too often gets in the way of a much deeper discussion and understanding of BULLYING plain and simple. A woman who just answered the phone at WESPAC Foundation told me "This would never have happened to a white man in Scarsdale." But in fact "white" has less to do with it than "Scarsdale". Money dictates 1000 times more powerfully, and I would even argue is the basis of the frustration that leads to this kind of abusive of power...Im not saying racism isn't an important factor-but to emphasize only that and pretend to ignore the COWARDICE of the other police officers from intervening is just PRETENDING to search for justice. I want to read an interview with the African American officer who kept his mouth shut. We all know what it's like to fear loosing a job, or even loosing a job for speaking out. The cover up speaks volumes about our society's degree of control and censorship that we accuse China, or dictatorships around the world of having...It was a black nypd police officer named Deborah Moore who beat the living daylights out of my head with her knee in 1993 for entering the subway without a token. I didnt have $1.25. Based on that vulnerability she felt certain she would get away with beating me up...Growing up in Westchester I had never even had a conversation with a cop let alone been arrested-stupidity knows no color, no race, no nationality. Bad human behavior is simply that. There was a black man on the scene who only had to escort Mr Chamberlain's niece to the door to calm the situation, or call Mr Chamberlain's son. As psycho as Carelli obviously was to shoot-EVERYONE else is just as guilty for not speaking up.
