Dispatch, rescue ones back. Up G20. Base of 502. 502. I have a pending detail at Midtown Towers. It was not put in as a site call, but this... is somebody with mental health issues. It's a 34-year-old male saying he needs help realigning his knee, aligning his skeletal system, talking about bone and bone collisions. This is the same male. 14 was out with earlier that wanted an ace bandage wrapped around his neck to help his breathing. And on prior, (name withheld) threatened to shoot responders and said he has access to weapons. Would you like me to dispatch on this or would you like me to have this over for police? Yeah, well, we can hand that over to please.
