Tuesday, November 9, 2021
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown has recommended the sergeant who supervised the CPD raid on Anjanette Young's home be fired.

CPD wrongly raided Young's home in February 2019, where she was made to stand unclothed and handcuffed in front of officers for more than 40 minutes while they searched her home.
