Repost from kaylt.la & justiceforyong On May 2nd, 40-year-old Yong Yang was murdered by LAPD in his parents’ Koreatown home. Yong Yang was someone in need of support and care, and the police stand diametrically opposed to these needs. The police exist as enforcers trained to enact violence upon communities of color. They serve the ends of white supremacy as armed occupants of Black communities across the US. We must organize to meet our communities’ needs and keep each other safe. Yong Yang’s life must be respected. We ask those in Los Angeles to join as we rally support for the Yang family this Sunday, 7/28. #용양정의 #justiceforyongyang

Join community leaders this Sunday as we demand #justiceforyongyang #foreveryong #용양정의

On the second day of AAPI Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, Yong Yang, age 40 was having a mental health episode. His parents in Los Angeles Koreatown called for mental health services, clinical personnel showed up and so did the police. Less than 10 seconds after opening the door the police fired and fatally shot Yong Yang. Why am I just now hearing about this a week ago? Why isn’t this story national news? Christian Hall, 19 years old also faced a similar fate in 2020 when He called for help, and state troopers showed up and shot him dead. In my opinion I feel like The lack of media coverage, The lack of empathy, The lack of care for the members of my community facing police brutality is a direct result of the model minority stereotype painting it out like Asians don’t have any problems. We have been gaslit by the media, we’ve been gaslit and gaslit down as a community and I wonder how many members believe this myth? I don’t care if I ever see another story about another sad East Asian lunch box, please show my people’s faces when we are victims of injustice. Please say their names. The link to his GoFundMe is in my bio, if anyone would care to donate. justiceforyong Also has a GoFundMe on their account where you can learn more about this story.

Posted withregram • kaylt.la Today, we remember Yong Yang, a life tragically and unjustly cut short. Yong’s passing on May 2nd was not just a personal tragedy, but a stark reminder of the systemic injustices that persist within our law enforcement agencies. Yong’s story is a painful testament to the urgent need for comprehensive mental health training within our police forces. Too often, those struggling with mental health issues are met with force instead of the help they need. It’s time we start a conversation about this. We must advocate for change, for better understanding, and for a system that protects all of its citizens, regardless of their mental health status. Let Yong’s memory be a catalyst for this change. #JusticeForYong #JusticeForYongYang #ForeverYong #MentalHealthAwareness #PoliceReform

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a reminder of how urgently our systems must change for those in crisis. On May 2, 2024, Yong Yang was shot and killed by an LAPD officer inside his parents’ home while experiencing a mental health emergency. One year later, PSR continues to fight alongside the Yang family for full transparency, accountability, and justice for Yong. . . . . #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #JusticeForYongYang #AccountabilityMatters #TransparencyNow #MentalHealthCrisis #PSRJustice #PoliceAccountability #SystemicChange #SupportMentalHealth

Thank you everyone for attending today… please follow us at @justiceforyong for future meetings and hope to see you soon again… #justiceforyongyang #foreveryong

Our documentary team being treated to a meal by the Yang family. We’ve all made sacrifices and took risks to get to this point (Big ones I might add). We’re hoping to add additional film to our sizzle reel this January. I sometimes question my sanity spending valued free time working on this on top of all the other things I have to do. However, I hope it all becomes worth it. Especially for the folks pictured here. #justiceforyongyang

I wrote an op-ed about the tragic cost of policing and reimagining public safety and health for The Korea Daily. Link to the article in bio. #JusticeforYongYang #ForeverYong

This person in recent years shot 2 people struggling with their mental/psychological health, killing one of them. Reports say 31% of police shootings are vulnerable people. Watch out for Andres Lopez. We need to keep our families and loved ones safe. #JusticeforNakieaBrown #JusticeforYongYang stoplapdspying

RSVP link in my profile. https://www.coreatown.org/communityorganizing The family and the community want systemic change. Check out the two slide presentations I wrote and my daughter formatted with graphics. You’ll learn a lot about how systems work (or don’t work) in government and government funded orgs. I’m asking people to review the slide presentations before coming to this meeting. They have a lot of information. The meeting is open to anyone who has a genuine interest in helping the Yang family with justice and systemic change. It may seem like a lot of work. But the work will be divided among many people. Even if you can’t come to this meeting, you can share my post to your network. Tell two friends to tell two friends to tell two friends. #justiceforyong #justiceforyongyang

Headline reads something like “LAPD’s ‘Yong Yang Murder’ Officer’s Uneasy Exoneration.” ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING AND UNJUST!! This result was predicted. “We will responded including through the ongoing civil lawsuit, and will uncover the truth about the death of my son who died unjustly.” dryangus ”진행 중인 민사 소송을 포함해 대응할 것이며, 억울하게 죽은 아들의 죽음에 대해 진실을 밝혀낼것“ 이라고 말했다. #justiceforyongyang

Please share this post. Reminder: This is tomorrow. Please read the two presentations on coreatown.org/communityorganizing before the meeting. They cover a lot of questions that you may have. You can attend in-person or via zoom. This is the first Justice for Yong Yang Committee meeting that’s open to community members. It’s time to start forming additional committees to take targeted, direct action. P.S. proton email addresses keep bouncing back. #justiceforyong #justiceforyongyang

Yesterday the Board of Police Commissioners ruled 3-2 that the shooting of Yong Yang by police officer, Andres Lopez, was in policy as the officer was in fear for his life. #JusticeForYongYang carrieosities phillipckim etchaskej rapchoi stoplapdspying axumselassie adamofthesmiths
