Canadian police mistakenly use cat filter

[Still Waters]

Canadian police have apologised after a cat filter was used during a Facebook live-streaming of a news conference about a double murder, which gave the presiding officer whiskers and ears.

Sergeant Janelle Shoihet, from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police of British Columbia, blamed "technical difficulties" for the error.

They need better technology classes, and to get rid of the pranksters.

Why are these 'official' broadcasts/livestreams using Facebook? You'd think there'd be a more professional (read: dumb instragram filter-less) app available.

Apparently more zombies are on facebook than instagram.

Exactly, I totally agree.  What a stupid place to do livestreams.  FB/IG are the last places I'd go to watch livestreams of a serious or newsworthy nature.
