A COP on call-out sits in his patrol car and concentrates hard — on his PlayStation.
The officer and his colleague were so engrossed in their PSP footie game they did not notice when a passer-by took this photo.
They were supposed to be guarding a wall in danger of collapsing in Chingford, East London, during last week’s gales.
Thirteen people were killed by storms nationwide — including a two-year-old crushed by a falling wall in North London.
A builder took the snap of the cops. He said: “They were oblivious to everything else.”
The Metropolitan Police said: “The use of the games console was inappropriate and unprofessional. Senior officers are dealing with the matter.”[/b]
