A 40yo son claims he is Buddha and forces his parents out of their home. His mental problems are more than likely exacerbated by cocaine-induced psychosis. LAPD responds to help but the idiot charges at them with a knife.

The grief stricken parents and their attorneys are getting a lot of press and blaming all of their problems on the LAPD, as usual.

LOS ANGELES, (May 2, 2024) — The family of a man who was shot and killed by police in the Koreatown area is pushing for a full investigation, saying the people who were supposed to help him killed him.

The shooting happened on May 2 at the family's home on South Gramercy Drive.

The family said they made a routine call for mental health assistance for 40-year-old Yong Yang. They claim the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health Psychiatric Emergency Team (PET) spent less than two minutes with Yang and then called the police.

"We tried to do everything right to get him help," said Yang's mother, Myung Sook Yang, who held back tears during a press conference on Thursday. "We called the Department of Mental Health, and instead of helping him, they invited the police into our home and they shot and killed him."

According to the family's attorney, Robert Sheahen, Yang had been diagnosed as "bipolar with a schizo-effective disorder."

Surveillance images provided by the family shows at least nine officers arriving at the home. On Thursday, the Los Angeles Police Department identified the officer involved in the shooting as Officer Andres Lopez.

The family said within minutes, Yang was shot in the family's living room. Sheahen said it appears officers tried to hide evidence.

"They kept the parents away from the dead son and they cleaned up the apartment," said Sheahen. "They spent hour after hour sanitizing a crime scene. Any rookie officer knows that this is obstruction of justice and you can't do it."

Last week, after the shooting, detectives said Yang was "armed with a large kitchen knife."

"When the officers arrived to the area of the call, they met with the suspect, only described as a male in his 40s, who was armed with a knife," LAPD Sgt. Bruce Borihanh told reporters at the scene that day.

Yong Yang's energy wasn't exactly in balance with his Yin Yang.

This a classic case of Culinary Negligence by the parents. The parents insisted on arming the kitchen with dangerous knives, knowing they had a "bipolar with a schizo-effective disorder" in the house. If they just ordered take-out, Budda would have not been a lethal threat to the cops when he flipped and charged them bearing chop sticks.
