"LAPD Officers Prioritize Pokémon Go Over Robbery Calls in Shocking Video"

The Los Angeles Police Department has released video footage showing two on-duty officers discussing and playing Pokémon Go while ignoring a robbery call in 2017. The officers, who were later fired, were captured on video talking about catching Pokémon instead of responding to a report of a robbery at a Macy's store. The officers claimed they hadn't heard the radio request for backup, but the video evidence contradicted their statement. The officers were terminated for misconduct, and their appeal was ultimately denied by a California appellate court.
