Less than 10 seconds after officers opened the door, police shot Yong Yang in his parents’ Koreatown home while he was holding a knife during a bipolar episode.

Parents in Los Angeles’ Koreatown called for mental health help in the middle of their son’s bipolar episode this month. Clinical personnel showed up — and so did police shortly after.

Police fatally shot Yong Yang, 40, who had a knife in his hand, less than 10 seconds after officers opened the door to his parents’ apartment where he had locked himself in, newly released bodycam video shows.

Now the parents of Yang, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder around 15 years ago, have told NBC News exclusively that they are disputing part of the account captured on bodycam, in which police recount a clinician’s saying Yang was violent before the shooting on May 2.

1: They want to hurt themselves or others.

2: They said how they'll do it.

3: They said they'll be doing it NOW or at a definitive time.

If these 3 things aren't answered with any definitive answers, they'll leave you alone.

You can say who you'll kill, you can say how, but if you don't say you plan to do it NOW or on May 23rd, you're going to stay at home unless you have insurance and plan to go somewhere voluntarily.

Use this life hack to never have to deal with police and kill yourself if you want to as long as you've exhausted all real options. Pro-Choice all the way. Ain't nobody but you gets a say on whether you want to live or not.

Set time? Set how? No person? No 51.15.

Don't know when? Set how. Set kys. No 51.15

Say it's tomorrow? Don't know how. Say you'll kys. Maybe 51.15, just don't convince them differently.

E: Forgot the obvious. Don't threaten anyone while you have a weapon in your possession. No, the police can no longer leave you alone. They are not allowed to just let you kill yourself without being sued into oblivion. Yes, if you threaten them with a weapon at close distance, they will kill you. No, it doesn't matter if you're mentally unwell, don't threaten people with lethal weapons. Being unwell doesn't give you carte blanche to PHYSICALLY threaten and/or hurt people.
