911 calls about Facebook outage angers L.A. County sheriff
Quote:
Officials at one Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department station were not happy after getting calls from residents because Facebook went down Friday morning.
"#Facebook is not a Law Enforcement issue, please don't call us about it being down, we don't know when FB will be back up!" Sheriff's Sgt. Burton Brink of the Crescenta Valley station wrote on Twitter. In a later tweet, he said an unknown number of people called 911 about the outage.
If their phone company is also they're internet company, they should scan the calls for people like this and automatically terminate their services. People calling 911 over stupid **** like this don't deserve to be able to use the internet.
