Report recommending suspension of slain Chicago police officer Ella French sparks outrage
CBSN
A Chicago police review agency that recommended eight officers involved in the botched 2019 raid of a social worker be suspended or fired is being harshly criticized for including the name of the officer who was fatally shot during an August traffic stop.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot, members of the City Council, the president of the city's police officers' union and a brother of the slain officer all decried what Lightfoot said it was the "height of tone-deafness" to recommend that Officer Ella French be suspended for three days.
A spokesman for the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) explained that while the report on the raid of the home of Anjanette Young was made public this week, it was completed in late April - months before French was killed. He said that a city ordinance prohibits the agency from redacting the information regarding French.
