The Chicago City Council Public Safety Committee voted against advancing the Anjanette Young Ordinance to the full council.
Young allowed video of the 2019 raid to go public as she stood naked after more than a dozen officers burst into her home with a warrant that turned out to have faulty information."Imagine it was your mother who was standing there," Young said. "None of us would have wanted our mother to have that type of experience. But guess what, I am someone's mother. See me in that frame. See me as your mother, someone who deserves Dignity and respect regardless of the situation.
Representatives of CPD and the mayor's office testified changes have been made to policy and more is being reviewed. "Shame on city council for not moving forward on this today," Young said. "But I will continue to fight until we receive the results we are looking for."
