Jackson casket moved by LAPD, Channel 7 says

Channel 7 reported tonight that Michael Jackson's casket was removed from Staples Center after Tuesday's memorial while hidden in a SWAT van. Chief Bratton would neither confirm nor deny, saying mischievously that the department has to have some secrets. But as Councilman Dennis Zine said on KABC, what were expensive SWAT officers even doing there? Still no clarity on where Jackson's remains were taken and where they might be now.
