    It’s worth noting this happened 6 years ago and both of the cops were fired.

    Listening to the audio and reading transcripts is hilarious. These guys sound like a couple teenagers driving around discussing Pokemon, accidentally going the wrong way down a one-way street; the part where they ignore their superiors trying to contact them asking why they aren’t responding is the best part.

      The question is, what has happened in the LAPD from this exact event occurring again? This amount of negligence and selfishness is absolutely still happening.

      Hell, the fact that it took SIX YEARS to get this footage is damming all by itself. I want to be amused by the childish nature of this all, but goddamnit does the whole situation make me angry.

    Murder is acceptable, but ignoring a robbery and driving recklessly to catch a Pokémon is what really gets cops fired.

      On camera. It’s not the driving or pokemon catching, it’s the embarrassment and extra work they’ve caused their managers.

      Murder is acceptable, ruining the Chief’s good mood is not.

      Also, lol at this detail from the article.
