The police knocked on his door and he told them that he did not need assistance and 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 he let them into his home.
Despite telling them he did not need assistance the police continued to insist that they enter the apartment.
Chamberlain later 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.

.Kenneth Chamberlain Jr. has called for city cops involved in the incident to be criminally prosecuted and said that the officer who shot his father should face a second-degree murder charge.
.After his meeting with DiFiore, he criticized police for not releasing the name of the officer who fired the fatal shots and city officials for not speaking publicly about his father's death.
.DiFiore did say to me that she will put all the evidence before a grand jury and will make sure that it's a full and fair investigation, Chamberlain said. My major concern is why have they not released the name of the officer.... The DA said they cant, but Im wondering why the police wont. This raises my concerns. Its only fair that the people know who that person is.
.Chamberlain also said hes upset that Mayor Tom Roach has not spoken to my family about the death of my father. No public officials have said anything about this.
.Kenneth Chamberlain Sr., 68, was killed Nov. 19 at his 135 S. Lexington Ave. apartment by officers who responded after family members said his medical alert device accidentally went off. The family said Chamberlain told police he was OK and that there was no emergency and the medical alert company called to cancel the alarm, but cops insisted that Chamberlain let them in to make sure everything was all right.

. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/6wohbu4 . .WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - The family of a man shot in November by police in a White Plains public housing complex said Wednesday they have a recording from the incident proving that police and emergency personnel used a racial slur before the shooting and are filing a wrongful death suit.
. snip .Kenneth Chamberlain Jr. said on Wednesday his lawyers had filed a notice of claim informing the city, White Plains Public Safety Department, and White Plains Housing Authority to expect the wrongful death lawsuit.
."After listening to the audio and looking at the video, it was very clear, in my opinion that there were no reasonable officers on the scene. Their job is to diffuse the situation, not create one," said Chamberlain. "White Plains PD murdered my father. Im asking that these police officers be brought up on criminal charges, not just the officer that did the shooting, but any and all officers that were on that scene because someone should have stopped that from happening."
.The officers' alleged use of a racial slur while demanding that Chamberlain Sr. open the door prompted the son to label the incident a hate crime.
."People are very quick to always say that when a situation happens in a community of men and women of color that we are quick to pull the race card," said Chamberlain. "I did no such thing this whole time. The only time that it came up was when we hear them say, 'We dont give a f***' and then use the n-word. So from that point on, they made it racial.
."I'm out here fighting for the justice of my father, doing something that I know that he would do had the situation been the opposite or reversed and it was me that got shot."
.Lawyers representing the family said an accidentally triggered Lifeline medical alert sent between 10 to 12 officers to Chamberlain's home at 5 a.m. on Nov. 19. The former Westchester County corrections officer told police he didn't need assistance and Lifeline attempted to retract the alert. The lawyers said officers repeatedly taunted the victim while demanding he let them in.
