Dashcam footage catches two Los Angeles police officers choosing to ignore a dispatch call about a burglary in progress to seek out a new catch on Pokémon Go in 2017. The cops opted to capture “Snorlax” after the Pokémon popped up on the augmented reality map, instead of doing their jobs. Both officers, Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchel, were fired after an internal investigation was conducted.

Playing games while they're working hey what's new about that you know what I get and I can't say what city is because it's a it went from it went from a regular a deal me turning it in to Federal US Marshals office or the cop that sits running radar on a main street two blocks down from the police station and they've got over 100 different times of police officers speeding through a not getting pulled over and other people that live in that neighborhood around their reported before and some of them acting like they're on their son from got pictures of the guy looking at p*** all the time with his pants down
This is why team rocket was such an issue
😂
Glad they got their priorities straight
That’s no normal snorlax, that’s a shiny snorlax
If they want to play Pokemon Go, it needs to only be done off duty. This behavior is completely unprofessional and unacceptable.
We really are on our own out there.
Team rocket strikes again
They still cared more about the robbery than the progressive DAs and judges.
🤣
theres probably new training in police academies on how to resist going after pokemons
they busy arresting pokemons. snorlax most wanted
This is what the world's come too.
Pokemon GO to the robbery!
I wish they'd fire the guys that play pokemon at my work…
Fires for this and suspended for killing a kid
this would be acceptable for a metagross or a dragonite
People were walking into traffic playing PokemonGO, crazy times, that and the clown attacks
I thought I was the only one
Lol this is something new. Cops were more about handing speeding tickets guess they switched it up to pogo. It’s nice to see how our tax dollars are being wasted away. This whole thing is funny tho
ive seen people playing this when driving…. its so NOT SAFE
gonna end up killing someone one day
Frick that game. I played it a lot at first, going well out of my way to find things unlike I would for any other reason. I even spent money on more balls and such. I took a long break and went to log back in one day and all my purchases and Pokémon were gone. There was a few junky things on the character though that i didn't remember. Almost looked like someone else had been using it.
They were using maps before they were blocked too! The good ol days hahaha
Priorities: ✅
I mean it's a snorlax……come on
If this was only about ignoring a crime, they wouldn't have been fired. They got fired cause it affected other cops.
r/nottheonion
I mean the Snorlax was blocking the path so it was the only thing they could do
0:58 “Whether they were playing Pokémon Go at the time…”
thumb does the swirly thing
your honor, he was full sending that pokeball. Case closed. 😂
Nah, snorlax is worth it lmao
I was looking for a place in a unfamiliar area and i saw a cop parked on the side of the road, i thought he was waiting for speeders but when i pulled up next to him to ask him for directions, he was playing world of warcraft i believe, I watched for a couple of mins before i yelled "Hey yooo sir!" and his eyes looked like i caught him jerking it. He shut his computer and rolled window down.
It is what it is i guess 🤷🏼♂️
“Got him!!!!”
Based lol
Hey at least he got it, hopefully it had good IVs
Snorlax isn’t hard to find.
Officer got other priorities 😂
1:20 lmao that license plate. 5 BBC 4 69
