In New York, Westchester County’s police force has found themselves in yet another shooting that some are saying was motivated by racist and overzealous officers. The shooting death of Kenneth Chamberlain is just another in a long and oddly familiar set of issues walloping the Westchester community, prompting a prominent preacher to levy charges of racism.

Pastor Calvin O. Butts of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem said on Sunday during a service that the killing was “yet another racially charged murder of an African-American man.” Chamberlain was killed by police last November, who say that the shooting was an act of self-defense.
