After a lengthy internal investigation a group of cops in the London Borough of Bromley have been sacked after they were found to be playing poker instead of carrying out their duties.
A statement from the Metropolitan Police described how they men had been caught on a number of occasions indulging in games of poker instead of patrolling the streets.
In a statement to the media, Allan Gibson, head of the Directorate of Professional Standards, said: "These officers let the whole of the service down with their behaviour; but more importantly they let down their local community. There is no place for lazy attitudes in the MPS".

Not that they didnt act like they should, but there has been cases where cops do worst offences than this one and they still remain in active duty. Im not talking for UK but for case in general all over the world, and even here. That was a nice example on how matters like this should be dealt.

Not sure if i played with cops so far but one thing is sure, i played tons of hands were people said that they play from work...
Frankly i think playing at work is not such a smart move because usually those office networks are supervised all the time, they are not like home networks.
