Funny: Cat photos take over hashtag after Belgian poLICE request social media blackout

BRUSSELS — Over the weekend Belgium’s government placed the capital city, Brussels, under the highest level of alert and conducted a series of raids.
During the raids, citizens were asked not to post about police activity.
“For security, please respect the radio silence on social media concerning the police operations underway in Brussels,” the police wrote. “Thanks.”

Quote :: Par sécurité, veuillez respecter le silence radio sur les médias sociaux concernant les opérations de police en cours à #Bruxelles. Merci
— Police Fédérale (@PolFed_presse) November 22, 2015

Instead of tweeting about police activity, Belgians responded by using the hashtag #BrusselsLockdown to post cute cat photos.
Here are just a few:
