2020年12月30日，美国宾夕法尼亚州19岁的华裔青年陈智博（Christian Joseph Hall）因为精神问题离家出走，警察被叫到现场施救。
但是，后来发生的事却令人震惊，警察在Christian举起双手的情况下居然连开数枪当场将Christian击毙。
然而，当地警方在当天的新闻发布会上却声称警察开枪是因为Christian不配合警察且有持枪指向警察的动作。
如果不是有人将事发现场录了下来并上传到网络，这个谎言也许永远不会被揭穿。
事发后网络上流传的视频（下面）显示，警察开枪时Christian Hall高举双手，显然对警察没有威胁。
2021年2月3日，距离事发一个多月，Christian被枪杀的真相浮出水面后，Christian的家庭律师Devon
Jacob要求宾州检察机关对此事进行独立调查。他指出涉事警察是州警察，怎么能由他们去调查自己同事的案件?
同时，州警察机构证实涉事警察已经返回工作岗位，尽管宾州警方和蒙罗县（Monroe County）检察机关的调查仍在进行中。涉事警察的身份尚未公开。
蒙罗县地区检察机关给当地电视台的一份声明中说他们没有收到受害人家庭的请求，也没有人要求他们提供关于此案的信息，他们仍然在等待有关的报告和结果以便做出最终决定。
根据宾州法律，宾州总检察长办公室只有收到蒙罗县检察官的请求后才能对此案进行调查。
Christian Hall生活在一个多族裔的领养家庭里，养母是菲裔，养父是非裔，他自己是华裔。
事情真相被揭露后，他的养父母Fe and Gareth Hall悲痛万分，民权律师Benjamin
Crump设立了网上请愿要求宾州检察院接手此案，并呼吁警察机关必须珍视生命，避免对少数族裔的滥杀。
Crump是去年震惊全美的George Floyd案的律师。

英文请愿信：
Christian Hall was adopted by multiethnic parents, Fe and Gareth Hall, shortly
before his first birthday. Unfortunately, Fe and Gareth would not get to spend
more than two decades with their loving son.
Christian Hall, a 19yo Chinese American teen, experienced a mental health
emergency on December 30, 2020. Pennsylvania State Police were called and
requested to help de-escalate the crisis. But rather than providing aid or
assistance, the troopers shot and killed Christian. His hands were up in the
air as he stood on the SR-33 southbound overpass to I-80, posing no threat to
the armed officers, when they wasted no time in ending his young life.
We often fight for justice for marginalized Black victims, but situations like
this remind us all of the need to step up and fight for justice for all
marginalized people in America today, including this young man whose life
ended far too early.
Christian is not alone in his tragic and unjustifiable death. Many minorities
–– Black, Asian, and Hispanic alike –– continue to witness lives like
Christian’s ended by police during mental health crises and realize they too
may face great danger by calling 911 for help. This should NOT be the case.
We need a way to protect our marginalized communities, including those who
deal with mental health struggles and those who face racial disparities daily.
Christian’s life was full of possibilities. Let’s honor his life by fighting
for change and preventing this same fate from happening to other minorities
who simply needed help.
Police departments must enact changes to prevent future tragedies for other
minorities. Law enforcement should preserve precious lives, not take them.
