SWAT Team to Escort Jackson Body

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

Michael JacksonWe'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.

34. You can make false posts of me all you want but over the coming months we'll really find out the extent of the child abuse that's been going on.

36. This has got to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! (Other than Obama being elected) Who the hell is paying for this spectacle? The SWAT team............................WTF!

It is all a joke. Just bury the man and let him rest in peace, Wherever his soul is, it is truly mortified with all the hoopla!

39. Cleveland West Side; are you in prison? You should be, and you should worry about your own salvation instead of judging someone whom is not guilty of what you supposedly did. Michael Jackson loved children and would never have hurt anyone, much less a child. You disgust me - why don't you have some respect and stop posting. Karma is a bitch. We are here to honor and respect someone we love; if you don't feel the same, you should stay quiet at least today, out of decency, if you have any.

41. I love it! Only in America with California totally bankrupt and pasing out IOU's and they are spending millions to celebrate a freak whose death enabled a few crooks to make a ton of money promoting it? Seems like they figured out his death would make them more money than his new tour!

42. are you kidding me? the SWAT team? where were they when he had kids in his bed...i agree with that NY congressman...MJ was just a pedophile and a molester. Did we all forget this? If he wasnt guilty why would he pay the family that accused him of molestation millions of dollars to keep quiet. Sounds GUILTY to me!!!!! Just sick.

43. Well I'm glad the SWAT team has nothing better to do, like keep LA safe.

44. You keep going, Cleveland West Side, because you speak for the majority of us. In the meantime...allow me. KARMA IS A BITCH...KARMA IS A BITCH...KARMA IS A BITCH!!!
