Various police forces have urged people not to call them when Facebook goes down, as it has a number of times in recent weeks.

The site often causes turmoil across the internet when it collapses, since it is visited so often and relied on so many. But the police have warned that they’re not in a position to do anything about that chaos.

Forces joined in a trend of disapproving tweets when Facebook went down last night. The police in Kingston told people to spend some time with their families, while the Houston police said that they were “as upset as you are but we cannot fix facebook”.
