I think the Jackson family can afford the money to pay for diverting police for this Family Event that is really a 3 ring circus because of 'fans'.

It's just more oppression of the transgendered community.They really need to cut the bias and get rid of the hate.

The city should pick up the tab, they profit when the celebs are alive and drawing crowds, buying things, and paying taxes. The security for Jackson's funeral is just the bill coming due for all the money he spent in LA over the last 30 years.

"The idea that we would charge the family for a funeral is nonsensical.”
No it's not. Every other family pays for all the funeral arrangements including any escort of the procession, etc. The Jackson's should pay the bill. Voluntarily.

There is no reason for cash when you can just print IOUs -every good Liberal knows this.

LA is footing the millions-dollar bill for a funeral? No wonder California is going broke.
