Ohio Police Raid Controversy: Toddler Injured, Questions Raised

Body camera footage from a police raid in Elyria contradicts some claims made by the family of a 17-month-old who was hospitalized after the incident. The family says the raid targeted the wrong person, as the teenager police were looking for had not lived at the home for a long time. The video shows police uncuffing the child's mother and letting her back inside shortly after the flash-bang explosion, refuting her claim of being kept outside for nearly 45 minutes. Elyria's mayor has requested an internal investigation into the use of force and the circumstances surrounding the raid.
