Black social worker will receive $ 3 million for police raid

Black resident of Chicago Angenett Young will receive compensation for three million dollars for unlawful police actions. Police, having received a search order from the “anonymous informant,” broke into her apartment without warning. They caught a woman naked and spent a search, not allowing her to completely dressed. This case reports National Public Radio.

It is expected that the City Council of Chicago on December 15 will approve compensation in the amount of three million US dollars for the social worker Angenett Young, which was forced to stand naked when the police mistakenly entered her house with a weapon.

February 21, 2019 the police used a ram to break the entrance door of the Young Apartment. At that moment, she just returned work when a dozen officers burst inside. During the raid, they were looking for a man who, according to the informant, owned by illegally acquired weapons. Other evidence that were used to obtain a warrant was not at the disposal of the police. The bosses never confirmed that the suspect lived at this address.

In addition to illegal entry into private ownership and violation of the rules for obtaining a warrant, police officers are accused of which “did not take reasonable actions to protect its dignity.” The time of the search fell on the breast cameras of the police, the video was attached to the case. When the polismen understood what was mistaken by the address, they removed the handcuffs with Young, allowed her to dress and after the “modest apology” left.

Some members of the city council said that, in their opinion, Yang deserves larger compensation for the injury that she received from law enforcement agencies. As a result of the investigation, started in connection with the incident, the Chicago police department will revise its raid policies.

Earlier it was reported that a black man from the United States spent 23 years behind bars and received six million dollars compensation. The court acknowledged that Dean Gillespi was illegally convicted and served in prison for 20 years. In his case, there was no material evidence of guilt, and the prosecutor hid from the jury that Gillespi did not suit the term of the criminal for growth and other physical parameters. After liberation, the man spent ten years, seeking to recognize the erroneous actions of the investigation.
