Nobody deserves what happened to Yong. We demand humane treatment of those with mental health crises so that nobody is killed for asking for help again.I’m calling on you to 1) Immediately remove Officer Andres Lopez and hold all officers accountable for the murder of Yong Yang 2) Limit police use of firearms against individuals with mental illnesses. We are counting on you to bring justice for the Yang family.Sincerely,[Your Name]
