Anjanette Young on $2.9 million settlement: "The money is not justice"

In 2019, Chicago police raided Anjanette Young's home after recieving a bad tip. The person they were looking for did not live at Young's home. She was changing and says officers left her naked and handcuffed for 40 minutes. Young is still experiencing trauma today. "CBS Mornings" co-anchor Gayle King spoke exclusively with Young about recieving a nearly 3 million dollar settlement, and what justice looks like today.

The problem is alot of these cops don't have knowledge of the neighborhoods they work in, they are suburban guys out the military or college that just took tests to get these jobs.

It's a known fact that the police department does not care about copper color people , there are a set of rules for white individual ' s and another set for people of color.all of those officers needs to be fired including the sergeant and the mayor for lying because before the mayor is a lesbain she is a woman of color first. And for her to set up there and try and sweep this under the rug just shows me that she is like the rest of people of color with high ranking position's like the black Caucasus and operations push the rainbow coalition they have all sold out our people so that they snd their family could live comfortable this is why we as Negees have not made any type of positive moves for our community or neighborhood's. The black Caucasus needs to give up their seats because how are you helping the Asian and the illegal's coming across the border's get policy in place for them but you have not done anything for the very people you claim to help black Caucasus is so full of shyt .just like that officer that killed that young copper color young man he gets out thursday that's not justice that shows you the 2 different types of laws they have because if that was a person of color he would of gotten the max sentence and would not be getting out early because of good behavior. That police sergeant that frame those black men.all of this crime going on in chicago which police arent doing their job because they could never invested their way out of a paper bag? They are just going after our children when they are the ones doing all of this killing of our babies, thats why they never have a lead or anything as far as shell casing the color of the cars.The Most High has the last word and once he starts making you guys reap what have sown karma. This is my opinion

This is a strong woman. I pray that she can stay focused and keep moving forward. These people violated her and they should have been removed. Well spoken Sister. I'm so glad that she let it be known that money isn't everything, and money has never added up to self respect.

I totally get that if all of those "Officers" were fired and she didn't receive a dime that she would then be comforted, because that would be real Justice for her!!

[@hartubmoses6645]

Those officers should have been made accountable, whomever made the decision to raid her apt., should have been fired, and Ms. Young should have gotten a million for each of those officers that was in her apt. It didn't even happen to me and I'm still seething over it. She should also receive cumulative and punitive damages in addition to her main legal remedy. The Mayor should also be made accountable for lying. Qualified immunity must be abolished to ensure better policing!

When he was putting something else in front of her changed his mind, and continued to leave her there exposed… that pain humiliation and fear you could hear in her voice is heartbreaking.. how could they do that to another human being?

[@mrhymer95]

I remembered a story years ago of a Black woman who had just retired as a NYC HRA worker. The cops raided her apt. at 5am in the morning, which was the wrong address. The woman suffered a heart attack and died at the scene. I am glad that this brave woman is still living to tell her story, and I pray for healing and peace in her life.

This is horrible and irresponsible on the police department's behalf. They just barged into someone's house for no reason. After they received "tips" from the informant, they should've done some kind of extended surveillance outside before they raided the place. The informant should be held responsible for providing the wrong apartment info.

[@kimberlynroberts7059]

The Chicago Police have at 20 lawsuits for wrongful raids. A lot more money will be paid out to families.

[@barbsturgeon]

And because of this, more money from your tax payers who end up paying. How easy it would be for someone to call in false tips that would require a raid, and it's really their family members house, or their own, just to file a lawsuit. People are doing wacky things to come up with money. I disagree with the amount they settled with this lady for. If she wants accountability, it should be toward whomever called in the false tip.

[@kimberlynroberts7059]

[@barbsturgeon]

What's more horrible is her accepting two million dollars for it and then claiming it wasn't justice. Again, if she wanted accountability and justice, she would go after whoever provided the false tip and find out if they just didn't know the correct address or what. Lawyers go after deep pockets. People nowadays are hurting for money. She wasn't harmed, shot at, arrested or killed. Certainly two million dollars of tax payer money is way too much. Talk about inflation causes.
