      Nobody was this happened 6 years ago and the officers were fired swiftly afterwards.

        “fired” usually means they just go to the next closest police department

        Do we know if they were hired by other departments? Oh, maybe they are at the L.A. County Sheriff’s office?

        And were charged? And were prevented from becoming police one town over? And we changed policies so this wouldn’t happen again?

        The answer to all of those is no. We, as a society, are okay with this behavior. Police unions have proven it.

    They got fired for the only crime for cops: ignoring pleas for help from other cops. If they had only just beaten a sufficiently pigmented or poor person to death, these two brave trainers would still likely be out there catching Pokemon and living the dream.
