Milwaukee: Hmong community protests police violence against community member

More than 100 members of the Hmong community protested at Milwaukee City Hall Tuesday. They’re demanding an apology from the police chief, and a thorough investigation into the case of a Hmong man who claims an officer beat him.

Protesters carried signs bearing a photograph of the bloodied, battered face of Koua Moua. The 40-year-old machinist claims he was beaten by Officer Kelly Parker, after he stopped Moua on suspicion of drunk driving in February. Moua was treated for his injuries and charged with resisting an officer.
