It's called a "pause". A comma indicates one.

Even if it is grammatically incorrect, it's indicating a pause in the sentence.

Should probably use an ellipsis there yeah

Or another comma after Hightower, making it "Hightower, from the Police Academy movies, is dead."

Dunno why someone would grammar whore that hard though

Nah ellipses are generally the one used for emphatic pauses (in addition to incomplete thoughts as you said). Comma pauses are mostly to sort out ambiguities that might form from reading without said pauses more than for emphasis.

I mean I don't really care but yeah he's right.
