The Facebook Cops were slow to respond...
Make sure Facebook is the first contact you make in an emergency.
In any emergency, dial F-A-C-E-B-O-O-K
“At any given moment there must be hundreds of thousands of videos being live streamed. they can’t police them all simultaneously..............”
Except Facebook was told a crime was in progress and did NOTHING.
What are they supposed to do? Technically at that point it’s evidence, if they make it stop recording they’re destroying evidence. Pretty much the only thing they could do was wait for it to finish, archive it for LE, and remove it from the site.
Doesn't Facebook have the same ability to report a crime as the people reporting it to Facebook?
So.. people cried to Facebook instead of the cops.. and didn't get a response from the cops?
Well, duh...
Perhaps you live in Facebook land where Facebook is recognized as a law enforcement authority.
Do you have Facebook on speed-dial in case you have a crime erupt?
Are there "Like" buttons for stuff like that?

The last thing I want to do is defend facebook but if it had been removed no one would know. No one would be aware of what the Chicago pd are calling a battery charge. No one would ask what about kidknapping. No one would ask what about the assault with a deadly weapon or if there is a difference between battery and torture. No one would know the racial motivations. Yeah if it could be swept under a rug it would be. Now we need to make sure these people are charged correctly. That isn’t just a battery charge. If need be we need to use the successful methods blm introduced us to for seeking justice. Most of all we need every single decent human of any race to know exactly what happened. I wouldn’t be surprised if facebook intentionally left it up in an effort to support such actions but this time I’m glad they did.
If it had been a Southern Baptist preacher on live feed it would’ve been shut down in less than five minutes.
