What a hilarious way to get fired.

I'm curious how many other police have done the same thing but have yet to be caught.

Is there a reason you essentially copied exactly what Mothered wrote? xD

Verbatim.

On-topic, the penalty may seem a little harsh to some people (a suspension would probably be appropriate) but their failure to respond to the call, could have led to something quite serious on the other end.

I think the other side of it, is that it was very intentional behaviour. They opted to play a game over something that would really impact another person's life. There's also this massive distrust of police in the Western world at the moment. The higher ups would have to show they are "doing something".

I personally prefer people be given a chance to learn and change, and am abhorrently against the "cancel" mindset.
