MILWAUKEE - Two witnesses are supporting a Milwaukee police officer accused of brutality in a case involving a Hmong driver. Koua Moua, 39, claims he was attacked. But police say Moua was dragging the officer with his van. The witnesses back the police.

Moua's is charged with resisting arrest. Police tell us they were responding to a possible drunk driver driving recklessly at 63rd and Florist.

According to the criminal complaint, Moua smelled of alcohol. The officer told him to turn off the vehicle and he refused. The complaint says the defendant then drove forward and dragged the officer. That's when the officer hit him and pulled him to the ground and they struggled.

Chief Edward Flynn defended the officer saying the officer's life was in danger and he used appropriate force to stop that threat.

And Flynn released 911 calls that he believes corroborate the officer's version of events.

A woman named Maria made the initial call on February 17. "I'm behind a truck right now I don't know if he's drunk or what his problem is," Maria said on the recording. "I mean he's just all over the place."

Friday Maria talked with TMJ4's Melanie Stout. "I had to call because if he would have killed somebody I would have felt bad about that," Maria explained.

Shortly after that call, police say the officer tried to get Koua Moua to turn off his engine.

Then this call was made: "There's somebody trying to run over an officer while he was in the door. The officer just tackled him to the ground."

Another witness didn't want to be identified but his mother made that second call. He said he also saw what happened. "The police officer was getting dragged by the truck so that's when the officer had to hit and stop him," the man said. "Me and my mom got kinda scared for the police officer because we saw the man trying to drag him with the truck. So that's when my mom she hurried to the phone."

The Milwaukee Police Association is glad to see the chief support the officer who still working. Association president John Balcerzak said, "I talked to him (the officer) and obviously he's affected by it but he's still out there servicing the community like every officer is out there and putting his life on the line."

But Moua's attorney stands firm. He believes the 911 calls are fake and the chief's comments are wrong. "It was completely idiotic," attorney Alan Eisenberg said. "He talked about a bunch of things that made absolutely no sense."

On Saturday, hundreds of people are expecting to protest against what they call police violence against Hmong Americans.

The Shee Yee Community, a Hmong group, plans to hold a rally demanding justice. “Our message is going to be that we don't want police brutality in our community,” Kevin Her of the Shee Yee Community said.

The rally will be held outside the 4th District police station at 69th and Silver Spring.
