Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell, beat cops with a combined 28 years on the job, were found through a 2017 investigation to have ignored a commanding officer’s request for assistance in handling an in-progress robbery at a nearby Macy’s. Rather than respond, the two left the area in the hopes of capturing Snorlaxes and Togetics in Pokémon Go. This decision, caught by the digital in-car video system (DICVS) dash cam, as well as attempts to lie about their actions, ultimately led to the officers’ firing from the LAPD.

That was an impressive rescue!

On the bright side, Snorlax on Togetic crime is down 80%.
Pokemon, really?
They’ll just move to another county and get a job there.
That’s a change from them arresting people with epilepsy having seizures.
If they’d just waited until 2021 to ignore a robbery, they’d still have their jobs.
“That should have been enough time for both officers to have ‘found them all!’”
Those little bassturds are not that easy to catch what with the flee rates and all.
