Continuous work without vacation The Chinese police in Chicago died of excessive fatigue

According to the U.S. "World Journal" reported on June 16, the African-American Floyd in Minnesota, the United States, was killed by excessive law enforcement by the police, causing large-scale demonstrations in many cities across the United States, including Chicago, so that almost all the Chicago police canceled their vacations. After returning home from work for 12 consecutive days and more than 12 hours a day on duty, Chinese police officer Xu Meng forgot to turn off the engine of his car and died of carbon monoxide poisoning, "extreme fatigue caused this regret," said Li Xiaotong, president of the Asian American Law Enforcement Association.

Li Xiaotong said that on the day of the accident, Meng Xu worked at least 12 hours a day to cooperate with the series of protests, and had not taken a vacation for 12 days, when he drove the car into the garage connected to the house, he was so tired that he forgot to turn off the car engine (button-type start button), resulting in the emission of carbon monoxide pervading the entire house.

On the day of the crime, because the police received a call from the nursery where Meng Xu's son was studying, saying that the parents had not appeared to pick up the child for two hours late, and the phone could not be contacted, they contacted the police station where Meng Xu worked, and the police immediately sent someone to the house where Meng Xu lived to check.

According to the report, when the police arrived, Meng Xu and his wife were unconscious due to excessive carbon monoxide inhalation in different rooms on the third floor, Meng Xu died after being sent to the hospital, his wife's current situation is gradually stable but still dangerous, and the four-year-old son of the two is temporarily cared for by relatives and friends.

Meng Xu has only been in the Chicago police force for about two years, and the 24 police stations where he now works are quite recognized, and he usually actively participates in various activities of the Asian American Law Enforcement Officers Association, "He is a very warm, serious, hard-working good friend and good policeman."

"Meng Xu died suddenly, the four-year-old son not only has no father, but his mother is still lying in the hospital", and at present, they only have one relative in the United States, "the wife and son are facing great pressure on their economy and life", so the Asian Law Enforcement Association launched a fundraising operation for Meng Xu's widow and son.

The Asian Law Enforcement Officers Association said that there are cases of police officers sacrificing their lives to protect towns and countries every day across the United States, and Meng Xu can be said to be "working continuously to protect the community from criminals, robbers and rioters, resulting in excessive fatigue and accidental death", Li Xiaotong said, and now the biggest hope is that Meng Xu's widow can recover smoothly, so that his only son will not become an orphan.
