Black Woman Forced To Stand Naked and Handcuffed During Botched Police Raid Will Receive $2.9M [View all]
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.”
