Black Woman Forced To Stand Naked and Handcuffed During Botched Police Raid Will Receive $2.9M

[Demovictory9]

The city of Chicago has unanimously approved a $2.9-million settlement for Anjanette Young, who was humiliatingly forced to stand naked while handcuffed in front of a dozen officers during a police raid in 2019. Police officers mistakenly broke into her home during the botched event while pursuing a different individual who had no connection to Young.

Minyvonne Burke of NBC News reported that “Young, a social worker, was handcuffed while she was naked. She sobbed and told officers that they were at the wrong home, but she remained in handcuffs, according to a report from the Civilian Office of Police Accountability.”

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot apologized to Young for the incident in a statement, which took place before she was in office.

“Knowing that my words will not change what happened to you and your family almost two years ago, I nonetheless say I am sorry,” Lightfoot said. “If you can hear that my voice is hoarse, it is because I have been unsparing in my comments to all involved in this

colossal mess.”

1. They should take it out of the cops' salaries and benefits.

[whathehell]

3. Yes, good point. n/t

5. All these payouts should come out of police pension funds and not a nickel of first hand tax money.

8. I was just going to say that. They have cost us millions and millions. n/t

11. Perhaps we'd be surprised how well they could police themselves as well.

[Traildogbob]

6. Exactly my first thought

Before I looked at comments. No pensions for these assholes. Why should tax payers cover their bullshit?

[Progressive Jones]

7. Make their fucking union kick in, too. nt

[patphil]

13. That's the only way they'll have any incentive to treat people with respect.

A dozen cops allowed that! Incredible!

2. This qualified immunity BS is why cops cavalierly pull such high-handed, racist...

crap. They know the city/county or whatever authorizing entity will support their actions, not matter how outrageous.

Seems like the cities would learn and stop coughing up millions in supporting the rogue, racists actors in their LEO departments.

4. No amount of money can make up for what Ms. Young endured at the hands of those

sick and twisted monsters. Their records should be thoroughly scrutinized, and they should all be made to undergo psych evals.They are rotten to the core.

Are they still on the force? If so, WHY???

9. Hear, hear!!!

10. It took CPD a 1 1/2 yrs to release the body cam footage

because they knew how much it would horrify people. And then Mayor Lightfoot, who I generally like, initially said she had only learned about the fuck up even though her staff emailed her about it a year earlier. SMH.

12. Despicable what they did to her but how much longer will tax payers pay for these thugs?

hmmm

14. "mistakenly broke into her home during the botched event"

Implying that if they had the right address, their treatment of her would have been just fine and dandy. Because you know, you never have to treat suspects with respect.

19. Excellent point.

15. The video of the whole thing is out there.

This event is very upsetting.
First off if she had not conformed to the police demands she would be dead.
How, how could this happen. Is it really that mundane an event for you that you would raid someones home and have the WRONG place.
She was left standing there to long. There is a humanity test here. The police failed. Yes an officer did bring her a cover.

I would love to know how often video helps the police?

16. Breonna Taylor comes to mind.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. Good

18. Yes. She now has millions to buy warm blankets
