The City Council Progressive Caucus called for action Wednesday over the wrong raid in which Anjanette Young was handcuffed naked by Chicago Police officers, and the city's failed legal attempt to stop CBS 2 from airing body cam video of the raid.
CBS 2 Investigator Dave Savini broke the now-national story of the botched Chicago Police raid in which Anjanette Young was handcuffed naked in her home. He reflects on the incident, and the greater pattern, with CBS 2's Brad Edwards.
It has now become a national story – Chicago Police broke down the door of an innocent woman, Anjanette Young, who was naked as they handcuffed her.
CBS 2 reported on Anjanette Young's case before, but the video, and the city's failed legal attempt to stop the station from airing it on Monday, created a national backlash against the city and Mayor Lightfoot.
CBS Chicago's ongoing investigative series into botched raids by the Chicago Police Department has been honored with two prestigious national Edward R. Murrow awards.
Undressed and afraid, Anjanette Young said she grabbed the nearest jacket to cover herself while she ran to the door upon hearing slams. But the door just burst open, she said, and she saw guns, pointed by Chicago Police officers who were in the wrong home.
