Two police officers have been fired from the LAPD after they were caught playing Pokémon GO instead of responding to a call about a robbery.
Some may argue that video games are a bad influence on society, and while that’s up for debate, some LAPD officers may have taken their love of Pokémon GO a bit too seriously when they skipped a robbery to catch a Snorlax. For a game made primarily for children about loveable little creatures that are pretty family-friendly, Pokémon GO is no stranger to legal controversy.
When it first launched, Pokémon GO was a massive hit with Pokémon fans and non-fans alike, with millions all over the world playing the game, gathering in public places to catch hard-to-find Pokémon. Not everyone was happy about this, and there were reports of gamers trespassing on private property to catch a Pokémon that would otherwise be out of reach.
The case distressing in terms of the length the cops go here to hide the obvious truth. https://t.co/HpZlrL3CXm— Stephen Totilo January 10, 2022 Apparently, the officers’ superiors weren’t happy with this lapse of official duty, because the officers were thereafter disciplined. The pair denied playing Pokémon Go, claiming instead that they were merely talking about the game and receiving text messages and alerts about it.
Clearly, Pokémon GO can still be pretty hard to resist, even for those with important duties to perform. With datamines suggesting that Pokémon Sleep will release in 2022, it’s possible that the Pokémon franchise will continue to maintain a strong grip on much of the world’s population. But, for those with important jobs like police officers, Pokémon, no matter how rare, can wait. .
