Officer Mike Carroll arrives on a call in which a man calls from a payphone and says he wants contact from the police. The man said he has a knife and when the officers contact the man it is apparent he was telling the truth. The man is ordered to put down the knife, but instead starts to walk across a large parking lot towards a fast food restaurant. While Carroll has a taser trained on the suspect, Officer Ortiz is following with her gun drawn. The officers repeatedly order the man to put down his weapon, which he does after back up shows up with a less lethal shot gun. The man says he has been homeless for a long time without any needed support to help him work through his problems. He is then taken away for more thorough evaluation.
