So, get this. There’s this crazy video going around that shows two police officers watching a football match while they’re supposed to be responding to an emergency. Can you believe it? The video, which was filmed by a passenger in the police vehicle, shows the officers with their flashing lights on, driving around like it’s no big deal. And get this, there’s even a phone on the dashboard showing the game! Talk about multitasking. The match they were watching was apparently an Arsenal victory over Crystal Palace, the opening match of the last Premier League season. Can you imagine? These officers are supposed to be out there protecting and serving, but instead, they’re catching up on the latest football action. Unbelievable.
The person who filmed the video reported it to the police force, but it seems like they didn’t take it too seriously. They were told, ‘that’s not good,’ but then had to wait almost a month for an update. Can you imagine waiting that long for a response? It’s ridiculous. The person who filmed the video even reached out to the police for an update, but didn’t get one until a news outlet got involved. It’s like they were trying to sweep it under the rug.
Now, here’s the really concerning part. The person who filmed the video noticed that there were houses near the road where the officers were driving. Can you imagine if something had happened while they were distracted by the football match? People’s safety could have been at risk. It’s just not acceptable.
The police force has said that they’re looking into the complaint, but who knows how long that will take. It’s frustrating that it takes so long for them to take action when it’s clear as day that these officers were in the wrong. If it was a regular person doing something like this, you can bet they would have been dealt with much quicker.
Let’s hope that this investigation leads to some real consequences for these officers. We need to hold our police accountable and make sure they’re doing their job properly. Watching a football match while responding to an emergency is just not acceptable. We deserve better from our law enforcement. Let’s hope they learn their lesson and start taking their responsibilities seriously.
