The captain was responding to a robbery inside the Crenshaw Mall which took place on April 15th, 2017, the department reports, during which time Lozano and fellow former Officer Eric Mitchell were parked in their squad car less than 200 yards away, playing Pokémon GO. Court documents reveal that the officers then drove away from the scene of the robbery in pursuit of Snorlax and Togetic.

“There was a Larvitar earlier, when we first got out,” one officer can be heard to say while parked in the new footage, and later, “It’s nice to have more Pokéballs, and the potions.”

Nah these are still bastards. When people say they’re useless, it’s not just referring to their brutality. They’re also useless in keeping people safe or “enforce the law” as exemplified here with them playing video games while someone is robbed.

It was just some people shoplifting from Macy's.

Yes, which is why I said they are criticized for being useless in keeping people safe or enforcing the law.
