Welcome
[edit]Hello! I'm Yangboxa. I am a father, researcher, and advocate for justice in the United States.
About Me
[edit]I became involved in Wikipedia editing after the tragic death of my son, Yong Yang, who was fatally shot by Los Angeles Police Department officers on May 2, 2024. Since then, I have been actively engaged in raising awareness about police accountability, mental health reform, and civil rights.
I hope to contribute to Wikipedia by sharing verifiable, fact-based content to ensure the public is accurately informed.
My Focus Areas
[edit]- Police accountability in the U.S.
- Mental health and policing
- Civil rights litigation and history
- Korean American history and communities
- Public policy, legal systems, and oversight
Current Projects
[edit]- Drafting a new Wikipedia article on Yong Yang
- Contributing to and updating related articles, such as:
* List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, May 2024 * Police use of deadly force in the United States * Americans with Disabilities Act
Get Involved
[edit]If you share my interest in public justice, civil rights, or ensuring Wikipedia remains a truthful and inclusive source of public knowledge, I’d love to connect and collaborate on constructive edits.
Thank you for visiting.
