CHICAGO (CBS) — The Committee on Public Safety and Committee on Health and Human Relations will meet remotely at 11 a.m. to give aldermen the opportunity to question CPD about how Young's case was handled, and to look into the department's overall policies and procedures regarding search warrants. No votes will be taken during the meeting. The hearing comes as three members of Chicago's law department are out of their jobs, following what Mayor Lori Lightfoot calls the mishandling of the Anjanette Young case. The City Council Black Caucus is introducing a resolution calling for the city to abolish warrants based only on information from paid informants and changing the city's police on the release of video footage.
