Attorney that represented families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, plans to take on a fatal officer-involved shooting in the Poconos
Civil rights attorneys are planning to file a federal lawsuit against the Pennsylvania State Police troopers who fatally shot 19-year-old Christian Hall in December 2020.
Hall “was having a mental health crisis,” attorney Ben Crump said at a Wednesday press conference. Crump is known for high-profile civil rights cases, including representing the families of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

Detroit water shutoff protests, 2014. The city announced a shutoff moratorium during the pandemic, but some cities and towns plan to disconnect water for nonpayment.
Like many small towns in pandemic America, Duquesne, Pennsylvania, is at rock bottom. The mill city near Pittsburgh never regained its footing after the collapse of the steel industry. Its 6,000 residents, mostly poor and Black, have been left behind in jobs, education, and medical care. COVID-19 has brought with it more paralysis. Duquesneâs only grocery store has closed. There are no doctors with offices within the city limits. And now water bills, huge ones, have started going out to residents again after an early-spring pause.
