A Westchester County grand jury cleared the White Plains police officer who shot and killed a 68-year-old retired Marine inside his apartment, officials announced Thursday.

The family slammed the decision as a “blatant cover up” and said it would request a Justice Department investigation.

Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore called the killing of Kenneth Chamberlain “a tragedy on many levels” — but not a crime.

“After due deliberation on the evidence presented in this matter, the grand jury found that there was no reasonable cause to vote an indictment,” she said.

The racial slur one officer flung at Chamberlain before another cop killed him was explained as an effort to “distract” him, DiFiore said.
