  Definition of Edmond Yu
Edmond Wai-Hong Yu (October 2, 1961 - February 20, 1997) was a former medical student whose death at the hands of Toronto police sparked debates about the police's use of force, mental illness, and the treatment of those diagnosed with a mental illness.
In 1985 the police arrested Yu and took him to the Clark Institute of Psychiatry, where he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
There have been a number of other memorials to Yu, such as The Edmond Yu House, which claims to be "a low-stress, high support, and non-medical organization for psychiatric survivors of the Mental Health System who also experience homelessness and would be considered 'hard to house' people," and The Edmond Yu Project.

On February 20, 1997, thirty-five year old Edmond Yu was gunned down on a Toronto city bus by one of three cops who were attempting to take him into custody under the Mental Health Act.
At the time of his death, Edmond (according to eyewitnesses) was holding a small hammer which he displayed in a ‘non-threatening’ manner to these three cops who had cornered him in the back of the bus.
The mainstream media has done everything in its power to demonize these two victims by promoting the ‘fact’ that both men had histories of psychiatric intervention, and by illustrating alleged examples of bizarre behavior in their pasts.

It even heard in gruesome detail how Edmond Yu's blood smelled, how it spurted after he was shot dead in response to that threat.
For, by its own appraisal, the jury found the Yu case to involve social issues of enormous scope: mental health, relevant law, policing, police training, the use of force, crisis resolution, ethnic diversity, housing, income and employment.
One development at the Yu inquest that did not have the sense of déjà vu was that, for the first time, a psychiatric consumer-survivor group was represented at the proceedings.
