Yep.
Now there's, like Six more have just landed.

Let's just keep the airwaves clear.
Thanks, Jacob.
All right, seagulls are on the list.
Strange whistling sounds and seagulls.

[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE.]
So what made you choose Dispatch? - Oh, you don't you don't know? - No.
There was an an an incident which required me to be placed elsewhere in the force.
Oh, shit.
It was with a taser actually.
What? Were you injured? APRIL: What happened in the end is that I tasered a man and he passed away.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Um, what sort of weapon did he have? I don't think he had a weapon.
It was more just like a really bad attitude and he was a man.
And I just don't think he took me seriously.
They were trying to regenerate some of the grass in the area.
It was just my job to go, "Yeah, please take the path.
" So it came to a head because I was saying, "Sir, can you please walk around?" And he He was like, "No, fuck off.
I'm" I mean, he probably didn't even say, "Fuck off.
" I can't actually remember, but his energy was all He started coming towards me, and he was kind of So that I think that's the point when I got out the taser and I just said, "Sir, stand back.
" "Do not touch this grass.
Do not step a foot on it.
" And he said, "What are you gonna do, throw your lipstick at me?" And I said, "That's it.
" And then I tasered him.
And I [STAMMERS.]
I don't know why, but I just held on the button.
Because I wanted to be so sure that I wasn't gonna come up against him again.
And so then I let it go and then he was unresponsive.
But it was just one of those days.
It's like, don't You know those days, Carol.
It's like, "Don't push me.
" It's certainly a day that you won't forget.
My fiancé left me that day, so I will not be forgetting that any time soon.
- Because of the tasering? - No.
No.
It was, uh Actually no.
He left me that morning.
He told me that he'd been having an affair that morning and, um, so we ended it and then a couple of hours later I mean, the tasering was unrelated.
It was an unrelated event.
It was unrelated.
