Podcast – Losing an Elder to Police Brutality

| Published February 24, 2023 |

Minnesota’s Hmong population lost a Secret War Veteran this month after Saint Paul Police shot and killed him in his apartment complex. The man, Yia Xiong, who only spoke Hmong and was hard of hearing, died when he did not respond to commands made by police. The crew finds themselves, yet again, talking about the unnecessary loss of a BIPOC person at the hands of the police, and are joined by community organizer Marsha Allen as the community continues to demand answers and action.

Guest: Marsha Allen, Justice for Yia Xiong
