LAPD Prepares for Michael Jackson Memorial
July 6, 2009
LAPD is trying to talk people who don’t have tickets out of coming for Michael Jackson Memorial on Tuesday. But I doubt if the LAPD can control the crowd. Jacko fans won’t miss the memorial just because they don’t have tickets.
Assistant Chief Jim McDonnell addressed the press today and reiterated time and time again that people who aren’t lucky enough to win the drawing for tickets to the memorial should just stay home and watch it on TV. The LAPD will also block off several square blocks around Staples Center (see above) but may expand the area based on the size of the crowd.
McDonnell also said the LAPD is working with the Jackson family on a “private family function” at the Forest Lawn cemetery. He had no other details. To help reduce costs, McDonnell said they would try and send as many cops home as quickly as possible — crowd size willing — and that cops making OT would be the first to go. So far, he said, no private entities have step forward to help alleviate the cost. source tmz
