SWAT Team to Escort Jackson Body

Posted Jul 7th 2009 8:00AM by TMZ Staff

We've just learned law enforcement has launched a plan to escort Michael Jackson's body from Forest Lawn to the Staples Center.

The plan calls for a "heavy motorcade" with the LAPD's SWAT team as part of the escort.

There is also a contingency plan to helicopter the body to Staples if there's an issue of safety.

We're also told approximately 100 people will attend the private memorial at Forest Lawn -- mostly family members. After the service the plan is to follow the body to Staples.

18. Sorry for my stupid posts; I am such a judgemental idiot, God help me - I'm evil and can't keep my disgusting WRONG opinions to myself even on the day of a man's funeral. I have no respect for anybody including myself. I suck.

20. I have been reading all the comments re: Michael being called a pedofile. I am a Mother and would not settle with anyone that I thought molested my son, so I have a hard time believing he molested anyone. I would make sure he was in prison.

25. The reason I don't like child molesters is because I was molested as a child, and that experience made me repeatedly molest my own children and some of my friends kids. Now I'm just hypersensitive to the subject of child molesters. It's not easy going through life wanting to molest kids... Trust me, I know this!
