要求宾西法尼亚州总检察长重新调查陈智博被杀案

美国亚裔民主党俱乐部(Asian American Democratic Club, AADC)要求宾夕法尼亚州总检察长Josh Shapio 针对陈智博(Christian Hall)被州警察枪杀一案启动独立和公正的调查，对蒙罗县地方检察院(Monroe County District Attorney)关于陈智博案的调查结果重新审视。

19 岁的陈智博于 2020 年 12 月 30 日因精神问题被宾夕法尼亚州警察枪杀。蒙罗县地方检察院先是选择不作为，在第三方视频证明警察开枪时陈智博并未对警察造成威胁出现后，继续拖延直至案发三个月后拿出了警察开枪正当的结论，这个结论当然遭到陈智博养父母和律师的拒绝。蒙罗县地方检察院在处理陈智博案的过程中有庇护涉事警察的嫌疑，因此宾西法尼亚州总检察长的介入和重新审视对解除公众疑虑，维护法制尊严是必要的。

陈智博出生在中国上海，后来为美国一对夫妇(Fe and Gareth Hall)领养。他因为新冠疫情和其他原因出现精神危机，但他对他人和警方并没有造成任何实际意义上的威胁。本来应该帮助他度过危机时刻的警察，却夺去他年轻的生命，如此滥用致命武力令人心寒。作为法制国家，涉事警察必须为自己的行为负责，才能彰显法律和正义的威严。

AADC 支持所有亚裔美国人争取平等权力，反对任何形式的种族歧视和仇恨暴力，支持陈智博父母和所有关注陈智博案的各族裔公民为陈智博寻求正义的努力。

AADC Statement

Calling for an Independent Investigation by Pennsylvania State Attorney General into the Death of Christian Hall

The Asian American Democratic Club (AADC) calls on Attorney General Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania to initiate an independent, fair and transparent investigation into the death of Christian Hall who was shot and killed by Pennsylvania State Police.

Christian Hall was killed during a mental crisis. The Monroe County District Attorney did not take action until a video surfaced, showing that Christian Hall did not present any imminent threat to police officers and the general public. Three months after Christian Hall was killed, Monroe County DA eventually concluded that the use of lethal force by police is justified. Christian Hall's parents challenged this conclusion. Ben Crump, the attorney who represents Christian Hall, asserted that the Monroe County DA was biased in investigating this case. Attorney General Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania State must initiate an independent investigation into this case to resolve lingering doubts about this case.

Christian Hall was born in Shanghai, China, and adopted by Fe and Gareth Hall. He experienced a mental crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Crump, the police were called to help him. Tragically, they shot and killed him instead. The policemen whose names have not been released must be held accountable for the unnecessary and excessive force.

AADC supports Asian Americans in their demand for equal rights and denounces racial discrimination and hate crimes. We stand with the parents of Christian Hall in their effort to pursue justice.
