Pokémon GO player calls 999 to tell police someone stole his Pokémon

Djole123

Wut da freak

 

So, as y'all know, there is Pokémon GO and it causes some injuries and stuff. Today is no exception.

A lovely fan called Gloucestershire police, and reported someone "stole his Pokémon".

 

Police was, of course, angry as hell and told him when does he need to call 999 and hung up.

 

What was this guy on at the moment? I mean seriously?

When I was young, it was fun to call the police for absolutely no reason. So I guess since he had a somewhat legit problem, it's not as bad. Now he knows better.

Well compared to people being mugged/robbed, shot, hit by cars and walking of cliffs in the states I think that's pretty minor really, I mean literally thousands of people call 999 every week for stupid things.

 

Its like when you watch Cops shows on TV, all the American chases are wild, action packed and thrilling then they go to a UK clip and its a Vauxhall Astra thats slipped on ice and hit another parked car.

Therein lies the problem, breeding is easy but most of them don't have a high enough educational level to be able to breed and do right by their offspring.

 

I work in a school looking after kids in an out of school club setting and some of the thigs I've seen would make anybody stop and think. The kids don't have a chance because the parents have the intelligence levels of Cletus from the Simpsons.

Knowing the youth of England fairly well I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was a genuine call.

Not too surprising, people call emergency numbers all the time for stupid reasons. I don't think this is really news worthy, and frankly is just playing off the Pokemon hype.

Sarcasm?

Marijuana has many reasons to be legalized and is less dangerous than alcohol.

What’s even scarier is the motion of people wanting to isolate and cut off people they deem “stupid” basically for being that. Suggesting eugenics makes me question the intelligence of those people more than I question it for the parents with dumbass kids.

Well you do realsie that as humans we are the only species on the planet that bypasses natural selection. If these parents were any other animal they wouldn't be breeding because they would have been killed when they were young.

 

Now i'm not suggesting for one second we sound start stopping people from doing anything, I'm just asking you to stop and actually think what we, as the dominant and intelligent species of Earth, are doing to ourselves.

People have been calling Police for dumb reasons since the dawn of time. They even got 100+ calls when Facebook was down, so I'm not really sure how this is news. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.
