HipHopWired Featured Video Source: SOPA Images / Getty Two LAPD officers had to catch them all, and we’re not talking about crooks. Per the Los Angeles Times, a California appeals court upheld the dismissal of two Los Angeles Police Department officers who thought playing Pokémon GO on the job was more important than stopping a bank robbery going down at the Crenshaw Mall in 2017.
