Four New York City cops couldn’t put down the game while on-duty.

…a group of cops are reportedly being probed for committing that most grievous of workplace infractions: Playing Pokémon Go on the job.

The New York Daily News reports that after the officers were caught in a NewYorker’s Snapchat video apparently playing the game while patrolling the Rockaway Beach boardwalk, commissioner Bill Bratton has said that the department will “take a look at that as to whether there was inappropriate behavior on their part.”

…It’s unclear yet whether the cops will face punishment for their alleged gaming.

    Lets see here. What will the punishment be. Wait, I know. 2 week suspension w/o pay. Their infraction didn’t involve a human being.

    OP: “…It’s unclear yet whether the cops will face punishment for their alleged gaming.

    Call-em in, hand each of them a cardboard box and tell them to clear out their locker and to hand in their badges.
    Anyone stupid enough to play that game is too damned stupid to be a lawman.
