Video: Police officers mistakenly enter a house and arrest a naked woman | the Chronicle

This happened almost two years ago, but it continues to have repercussions. This is an event organized by the Chicago Police Department, in the United States, which broke into a bad house and arrested a woman while she was naked.

Recently came to light video of the operation in which officers used a ram to break down the door of Anjanette Young’s home, a black social worker. “It was very traumatic to hear this thing knocking on the door “the woman said in an interview with BBS Chicago.

Young had just arrived from work and was undressing when the event happened: “It happened so quickly that I didn’t even have time to put on my clothes”.

In the video, which was recorded by police officers’ body cameras, a dozen armed officers enter the house shouting at Young, who was completely naked raised his hands.

Then they handcuffed her and ignored her repeated requests for an explanation. One of the officers put a blanket over her shoulders, but she kept falling and no one bothered to cover the rest of her body for a long time.

The young people, humiliated and horrified, repeatedly cried out that they had come to the wrong house. Police learned that at this address a known 23-year-old criminal was seen with a weapon and ammunition. However the woman was right, since the clue was not entirely correct, since the said criminal was in the next apartment.

According to CBS Chicago, although there is no evidence that the police exactly checked the lead provided by the informant, the search warrant was approved by a deputy prosecutor and a judge.

Young took legal action against the Chicago Police Department who, on top of everything else, refused to deliver the video to him and only did so under pressure from the court..

“I think they didn’t want us to have this video because they knew how bad it was.”Young noted and continued: “They knew the way they were treating me was bad. “

The victim’s lawyer, Keenan saulter, argues that agents They treated her inhumanely and she wondered if they would have acted the same towards a young white woman.
