Big Blunder: Canada police turn on cat filter during live briefing in a double-murder case

British Columbia's Royal Canadian Mounted Police (BCRCMP) courted embarrassment after they live-streamed a press conference on Facebook with the 'cat filter' on during a press conference on Saturday.

Sergeant Janelle Shoihet was addressing the briefing when the cat filter was switched on accidentally. This came as a major embarrassment as Sergeant Shoihet was seen with cat ears and whiskers. The unexpected blunder happened during the Sergeant's briefing on a double-homicide case. Here's a picture tweeted out by a journalist who was streaming the live briefing:

However, the BCRCMP noticed the goof up and posted about being in the process of addressing it at the earliest:

Yes we are aware and addressing it as it's an automatic setting. Thank you, we will rectify and issue a video shortly.

However, netizens weren't about to waste an opportunity. Here are some of the reactions:

Sergeant Janelle Shoihet later recorded the press conference again, but without the cat filter. She even apologized for the 'technical glitch'. The Canadian case is not the first one to mess up. Earlier in June, Pakistani Minister Shoukat Yousufzai was also the victim of cat-filter during his Facebook live stream. Enough content was produced for Netizens to have a great laugh at.
