Toni Biegert visits the site of where her son was killed by police in episode 5 of The Mothers Podcast. Joseph Biegert, a 30-year-old white man, was killed by Green Bay Police Officers Matthew Dunn and Brian Krueger in 2015 as they served a wellness check after Toni had called the police concerned that he was having a mental crisis and wanting to make sure he got the help he needed.
Police claim when they arrived a struggle ensued, that Joseph grabbed a knife and they feared for their lives. Toni said the police beat him, tased him, and then shot him 9 times, including once in the head. Toni brought us to his apartment and then to a park where she purchased a bench with a plaque in honor of her son. Toni has turned her pain into purpose by working to add crisis intervention training for police officers in Wisconsin among other things.
