Multiple reports describe an incident at a Somali Independence Day celebration in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where an American flag appears to be flown upside down. Video shared by outlets shows the flag displayed at the event, which leads to complaints and community concern. Coverage states that the display sparks public outrage, including criticism that the flag was not noticed or corrected during the event. St. Cloud City Councilman Scott Brodeen is quoted in one report saying he was “disgusted” by the situation and by the flag remaining unaddressed. Other coverage characterizes the reaction as widespread and includes references to community skepticism about how the flag was displayed. The reports focus on the public response to the upside-down flag and do not provide a confirmed explanation for why the flag was flown that way. The incident is presented as a point of contention within the community rather than as a formally established misconduct finding.
