>> Chicago, this month marks the 10th year since the murder of teenager Laquan McDonald by Police officer Jason Van in the days and weeks after his death was brought to light, community members pushed for reforms.

But advocates say efforts to hold the Chicago Police Department more accountable and to change the way officers interact with residents haven't shown much progress.

Here now with more is Anjanette Young founder of the Eye and her foundation in Jeanette.

Thank you for joining us.

Welcome to studio.

Thank you.

So first, it you know, we mention the 10 year anniversary of Laquan McDonald, a murder.

It was last week earlier this year was the 5th anniversary the anniversary.

But the 5th year since your own trauma, which was, of course, the raid on your home.

>> Have you seen CPD make improvements over these 5 to 10 years with regards to holding officers accountable?

Absolutely have him opportunity to speak on this matter.

>> But several officials around the city and one of things often share with them is that individuals like myself and other family members who are the ones that are being harmed by timing is an issue is with luck or McDonald.

It's been 10 years for myself now.

It's been 5 years.

And yet we're still waiting for some tangible action from the consent decree.

And we know that the police department says in monitor, the federally appointed monitor says that the department has met.

>> Fully met or isn't fully full compliance with just 7%.

I think it's a greater percentage with partial compliance and so on.

And of course, the consent decree it governs how the police department should make those reforms.

And it came in the wake of luck one's murder in 2017 and that entire scandal.

You know, the small amount of progress that has been made.

Do you think that's making any difference?

Not at all.

And I'm not really sure where they get the numbers from to say that there has been some crop progress at this point.

>> Because the community is not seen any changes at all.

When we think about and and and how he was murdered in the street and shot 16 times so aggressively by.

>> Chicago Police Department and then get even dish.

Just this year.

We had grief.

>> All right.

And in that young man was shot 96 times.

And 41 seconds that so excessive.

>> And so to see police officers still harming the community to the way they have.

The community is not seeing any chance tangible change, although there reporting in the data that there has been some some change in the data.

>> After the raid on know your home.

Of course, you called for reforms specifically with the way police execute a no-knock warrants.

Would you like to Right now?

very disappointed in our current administration with our current mayor, Brandon Jensen, Lori Lightfoot was in office, she didn't do very to make reforms.

She put an executive order in place.

But for those of you who know what an executive order is, is just a document can be changed at any time.

It's It's not set in Stone is something anyone can come and change the rules around the executive order as well as we have not seen the police department make any reports about how the executive order is going or any other of the items that is in consent decree.

So I'm very disappointed at this time when I chose to support Brandon Johnson as a candidate for mayor, he and I specifically talked about what that would mean for me for me to publicly support him.

And and share with him, my desire in my passion, in my commitment to making change around the way the police interact with the black and brown community.

And things haven't happened yet in Mayor Johnson is now in his second year actually going into his 3rd year nothing tangible has happened.

And you initially had faith in Absolutely have faith in him.

When we talked about this and I've had several conversations with him with him personally and his office about my desire to continue to push for police reform and even this past year, I always speak on the anniversary of the rain and he came out publicly in put a statement from his office saying that he still supported it and was committed to working with me to make change.

But as of right now, those things haven't happened.

There were efforts to get an ordinance through city council.

It didn't make it.

Why do you think progress has been slow?

So the efforts and city council did go forward because they were there just people in the city council who are pro police.

They do not believe that to put the police did anything wrong.

Denies it.

They were in my home and they don't feel like the things that we were x and 4 in it.

ordinance were things that they could support.

And so it kind of died.

And city council.

And so that's why Mayor Johnson was a candidate, I went directly to him to say, okay, when you become mayor, we don't need a majority vote in City Council.

These are things that you could push yourself he was committed to a bit that time at that time.

But right now those things haven't happened.

And of course, anybody look, just to remind our viewers, you know, anybody who seen the video from the raid on your home, which was brought to light by our colleagues CBS 2.

It anybody watching would have had a visceral reaction to what you were experiencing and what you are going through being, you >> You know, your home is basically barricade, whatnot, barricaded, but the officers busting through your door basically on while you're changing clothes.

you know, when around your apartment for a while without without helping you and getting you something to cover yourself as you're pleading with them, letting them know that they were they had the wrong home, Do you think that, you know, the the consent decree expanding to include the war in searches?

Do you think that's helped or hurt your efforts?

I don't think either.

And so it's a positive that it was added into this consent decree, however, is a negative.

If we never.

>> we'd never hold a consent decree to tangible outcomes.

And as of right now, the can says consent decree is just a piece of paper because there are no tangible outcomes that has been produced to the public to say that the consent decree is a good you've also been in touch with CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling.

He's been on the job for just over a year.

Do you have?

>> Faith in his ability to make change on this?

So yes, I've had personal conversations superintendents knowing.

>> And he he verbalize is a commitment to work with me.

What it would look like to hold officers accountable.

Wanted to specific questions that text him is by him being the head of the police department wears his commitment in whatever the mayor and I could come to an agreement on because we know that he would have to have a commitment order for his officers to dance actually follow through on the things that we put in place.

And so he reported a commitment to work with me on those things.

However, that meeting with him was Spring.

So before the DNC and we all agreed that we needed to let the DNC, you know, go pass because there is so much going on and that we're going to be back at the table.

However, at this time as X for meetings and those meetings have happened at this time, you have a background in social work you have since started the eye and her foundation.

You said because you saw the parallels between your story.

>> And that of Breonna Taylor who was also killed by police in her apartment in Kentucky.

What are the parallels that you saw so the way, Brianna, Taylor was murdered in her home the way the police came to her home and kicked the door the way they.

>> They shot up her home.

I felt same parallel when when and what happened in my home and what was Disheartening for me is that my home had been raided 13 months prior to Breonna Taylor and no one really heard of my story.

And this wasn't because I wasn't telling my story is because we didn't have body-cam footage.

So no one was really taken story seriously.

And that's a lot to be said about how media reports as well.

So they didn't have a video to show.

So nobody really took my story that seriously.

However, when I saw Breonna Taylor store, I was like that just happened to me last year.

And so I started wearing a T-shirt.

With Breonna Taylor's face on it.

So when ideas start to make some public speaking and unable to get in front of the public, I wore t-shirt and they just said I am her because I wanted people to know that they very thing that happened to Breonna.

Taylor had happened to me as well.

Did you think your story could have gone differently?

totally think my story could have differently is anybody did have followed the from the very beginning.

It happened in February of 19.

We initially did a story in November of 19.

We didn't have body camera footage at that time.

And so the story really didn't do very far.

And so I'd gone all of these months, you know, agonizing fighting with the city through my team to get some traction on my story.

And it's unfortunate that it wasn't until we got the video and December of 20, any war really paid attention to what it happened to and how would you say your life has changed since this rate?

Everything about my life is change my ability to trust and in our police department system has completely changed the work that I do as a social worker has changed before this rate.

I was a social worker that primarily did direct practice working with families around mental health in direct services.

And now my work is more of advocacy policy change.

So this The way I live my life and who I my personal circle.

All of those things have changed.

My life would never be the same as it was before this.

Of course, there's trauma that you experienced and I imagine has an impact.

But you're going to turning your pain into purpose.

We've got just a few seconds left.

Tell me about the work that the I am.

Her foundation does.

So the purpose of the eye and her foundation is to provide resource, reduce barriers and provide resources to therapy.

I understand that nor my time to go into therapy was a key component to my healing journey at after the trauma.

And so I want to be able to give back to others who have those same experiences.

We understand that in the black community to access to therapy is a huge, for many people.

And so with and her foundation, I want to be able to able to to get access to that within the support that they need because everybody
