I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. I called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlamagne, who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, just hilarious. Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, October 9th, goes to Officer Louis Lozano and Officer Eric Mitchell. Should I say former Officer Louis Lozano and former Officer Eric Mitchell?

They are former Los Angeles police officers who were fired because they were too busy discussing Pokemon Go while someone was getting robbed. Let's go to ABC 7 for the report, please. Are you watching a video or are you playing? I'm watching a video. Oh, okay. I don't know. Now at 11, the LAPD released some shocking new video showing the moment two LAPD officers ignored a backup call about a robbery and instead played Pokemon Go. This all happened back in 2017 when the exchange was caught on the digital camera

inside their squad car. The officers continued to ride around and talk about catching the Pokemon character Snorlax. After a captain reviewed the video, Walt, they were fired the next year. The officers tried arguing the recording should have been dismissed because they were private conversations,

but both the lower court and the appeals court disagreed with that. Wow. When are the aliens coming? Not the ones crossing the border, private conversations but both the lower court and the appeals court disagreed with that wow one of the aliens coming not the ones crossing the border the extraterrestrials okay et and thanos dim can y'all please come back to earth the least gotta be up okay we are so sorry for what we have done to your planet god i totally understand why you would never send your only begotten favorite son jesus back here what would be the point of sending him back to this silly ass unserious planet somebody out there getting robbed okay meanwhile these cops

are busy searching for pokemons in their water now just to play white devil's advocate other cops did respond to the armed robbery call so they probably felt like they got it under control we'll get there when we get there but i come from an era before mobile games like pokemon go and we used to play games like cops and robbers y'all didn't play cops and robbers as kids of course yeah so so now when we play cops and robbers do we not go stop the robbers because we're too busy playing pokemon go and what if there was a lot of pokemon to be captured at the scene of the armed robbery these officers might have really missed out okay now the worst part about this is that these officers simply are not living up to the motto of protecting and serving okay instead of being out trying to catch a robber they was going back and forth about who

can catch boba czar and ivy czar and venus czar they was worried about all the czars but didn't want to be officers of the law and do their damn jobs sidebar i had a friend who would call me uh charizard all the time and i was so confused i never understood why until i started paying attention to this uh phenomenon called pokemon go what is it charizard oh that's what it would pronounce oh charizard char yes shoot that's they would call me charizard okay now there's nothing wrong with an officer killing some time playing some mobile games but when those mobile games stop you from doing your actual job okay then you deserve to be fired especially when your job is to save folks all right you had the opportunity to stop a whole armed robbery and you literally said

i don't want to be his help okay more and more every day i realized why alonzo hated hoyt so bad in training day and why he hazed hoyt so bad in training day because these two officers lewis lozano and eric mitchell they had no business in the field they needed to go get a nice poom poom desk job chasing bad checks or something okay they clearly not built for the action that comes with being a law enforcement officer all right because they would rather be at the pokemon Go Fest instead of the police academy please give Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell the sweet sounds in the Hamilton's of the day yee haw yee haw yee haw

was that the four tops? the four tops? that wasn't a gay reference, the singing group the four tops oh no, that was the Hamilton's I didn't know, I was like, it was only two offices I was like, where did the other two tops come from? that's what he said

wow now you did mention aliens and I want to tell people I was like, where did the other two tops come from? That's what he said. Wow. Now, you did mention aliens, and I want to tell people, Ring Camera is offering a million dollars to anyone who captures an alien with the doorbell camera. That's right. Now, the winner will get a million dollars grand prize paid out in 50,000 yearly installments for two decades. And Ring is also offering a 500 amazon gift card for the most creative fake so if you uh catch i don't like that that's what i don't like what i like to having the million dollars out there to catch the extraterrestrial but then you're gonna offer money for the most creative fake so now what what if there's a real one on there but nobody's

gonna think it's real because they're gonna think it's a real creative fake so now if i'm actually an extraterrestrial right like say i'm just like a little troublemaking extraterrestrial who likes to come down every now and then kick it you know around halloween blending now i can just walk by a ring camera actually be an alien then go collect the prize i can tell you right now if i see this pop up in my neighborhood where people are doing all of this for a prize i'm'm going to call the LAPD. Not that they would show up and do anything, but this is. They'd be too busy playing Pokemon Go. Right.

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, we got a special guest joining us, right? Yes. Dr. Alfie Breland Noble, man. Dr. Alfie Breland Noble. She runs the Acoma Project and she runs my foundation, the Mental Wealth Alliance.
