It seems like there's a vendetta against Facebook here. The term "mixed results" is used why? Everything they're doing is completely voluntary. NYT somehow managed to paint Facebook alerting the police about a possible suicide attempt as something negative, just because the police already helped the person. Or about them being too late to report it, again, this isn't Facebook's fault.
You can argue on the term "mixed result", but I think it's reasonable to assume they're indicating that non-success is a negative result, even when Facebook is going entirely above and beyond here to begin with, so there really isn't any "negative result" to be had.
Do people dislike big tech companies so much that reporting immediately concerning messages and suicide attempts to the police must be a bad thing?
This is common practice anyway. If you write that you're about to kill yourself on Reddit and a moderator notices it, I sure hope the police are contacted. Nothing I see to criticize here at all.
