TL;DR Summary

The Los Angeles Police Department has released a video showing two on-duty officers discussing Pokémon Go and ignoring a robbery call in 2017. Former officers Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell were captured on video talking about catching Pokémon while disregarding a report of a robbery at a Macy's. The officers were fired in 2018 for misconduct and violating the public's trust. They appealed their terminations, but a California appellate court upheld the decision. The officers' attorney claims they were treated unfairly and that the LAPD broke its own rules in using the private dashcam recording as evidence.
