SWAT Team to Escort Jackson Body

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.

61. Another wonderful use of taxpayer funds. If there was any question how the budget deficit came about, take a look at the stupendously idiotic wasteful decisions. These decisions will be remembered for a long time.

62. Mrs Jackson better crack open her check book and pay the city of LA
for the cost of this sham. This could have done quickly and simply
soon after he died. A public memorial televised from MTV...
whatever...

NOPE ...the Jackson's want a show to increase Micheal's commercial
value in death...

LET THEM PAY FOR THIS.

63. One thing everyone needs to remember is that MJ was never convicted of these accusations. Anyone can say someone did something. Those people out there saying he did this are probably molesters theirselves. As far as his "makeovers", just about all of the movie stars out there have had surgeries and yet no one says anything about them. Shame on you who continue to convict this man. You are not the jury and you are not god to judge this man. You probably enjoyed his music growing up.
RIP Michael Those true fans will miss you and your music.

64. Michael was NOT a child molester!! Stop the rude, jealous comments!!! He is a legend, an icon and he will be greatly missed. Yes, he was child-like and displayed bizarre behavior but the only thing he is guilty of is loving and giving way too much.

God Bless him and show some respect people.

65. Maybe, as a high point to the memorial, they will roll Michael over and allow one of his fans to greek the freak.

66. This is a day to remember someone who transcended race, class, gender and nationality. The story of Michael Jackson is a uniquely American story.

67. So dont watch it, dont post comemnts

YOUR comments are only important to you

You wouldnt make crude remarks face to face,

It is over the top, but who cares - get back to work, (ohhh Im sure most of you dotn have a job and pay taxes that youre crying about in LA)

he had his day in court ,

He was a Super Star on an International level, (and youre not)

the haters seems more stuck ont this than his admirers - get over yourself

and YOU get a life, live for your own cause , not piggy back a famous person to hide behind a computer and rant and rave

70. Michael Jackson was not a child molester. It takes weak men to criticize the dead when they can't defend themselves. He was found not guilty because the two "accusers" lied so that their parents could get huge monetery settlements. (which they took). If my child were molested, I would never take money, I would defend my kid and prosecute. Why do you think they didn't? Those people lied and ruined an innocent man's reputatation. What is wrong with all you people?
It is funny how wek-minded folks are so jealous and envious of other people's success, that we attempt to destroy them!

71. If you weren't there when something happened, then don't say anything and don't judge either ( There are always two sides to the story). People should have a little respect for the dead. I love Michael and always will. My prayers are with him. For those who don't like him, he couldn't care less cos he is dead and we couldn't care less either cos it's not our problem.

72. Am I the only one that is OUTRAGED about the coverage and the expenditure of time and money spent on MJ passing??? Now I just read that a SWAT team will accompany the body to the Staples Center!!!! PLEASE, give me a break. He was a very talented musician. But to put him on a pedestal????? No way

73. Lets get a few things straight right now. Michael Jackson was never convicted of Child Molesting. Why is that? BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT 1 SHRED OF PROOF? AND WHY WAS THERE NOT 1 SHRED OF EVIDENCE? BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED, THATS WHY. GET OVER IT, AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR PATHETIC LIVES. STOP REPEATING THE LIES AND RUMORS AND INNUENDO. NOW THE NEXT THING THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. RACISMM HAS NO PLACE IN THIS WORLD AND ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT IT DOES HAVE A PLACE IN THIS WORLD CAN LEAVE THIS PLANET ALSO. WE ARE ALL CREATED EQUAL NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE EVEN THOUGH SOME THINK THAT GOD ANSWERS TO THEM. TO ALL OF THE HATERS AND RACISTS OUT THERE, I HAVE THIS TO SAY, YOU ARE A WASTE OF SPACE AND OXYGEN. YOU ARE TAKING UP VALUABLE SPACE THAT A VERY IMPORTANT LIFE FORM COULD USE, LIKE MAYBE FUNGUS. SO INSTEAD OF SPOUTING YOUR HATRED AND RACISM ON THIS PLANET, WHY DON'T YOU SPOUT IT UNDER THIS PLANET.
