Attorneys for Rickia Young say a $2M payment in police beating isn’t enough: ‘Bring criminal charges’

Two officers were fired in connection with the incident and another 15 are awaiting internal disciplinary proceedings, department officials said.

Philadelphia police officers on Oct. 27, 2020, bashed the windows of Rickia Young's SUV, pulled her out of the vehicle, beat her, then separated her from her toddler. The city this week announced it will pay her $2 million.
