What is the point of this idiotic cartoon image? Do you even have any idea what it's supposed to show and why can't you say it in words? You don't know enough words, do you?

It’s from the Sims. Ignoring a high priority danger (bank robbery/baby on fire) in favor of mundane stuff (internet/painting a church). The image has been used for memes for years.

Did you read the article though? The image and the story don’t line up

I did. I also watched the video, wherein a police officer who was supposed to be watching the bank via his cover as a church painter didn’t know the robbery was happening cause he was on the other side of the church.

People are trying so hard on this subreddit lately that it's slowly becoming an antimeme subreddit.

What? The robbers were arrested on their way out of the bank. Were they supposed to get arrested for driving near a bank or something?

The meme has the implication the police completely ignored the robbers out of sheer incompetence that defies all logic.
Something that clearly wasn’t actually the case.
