LAPD and city officials are slowly but surely starting to freak the eff out over Michael Jackson memorial, set to take place at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning.

Hundreds of thousands, possibly even a million people are anticipated to show up downtown, even though only 17,500 tickets to the service are being made available to the public (that's the capacity of the arena).

Officials are realizing they may not have the funds or the time to properly prepare for the massive crowd!

City councilman Dennis Zine suggested that the Jackson family and AEG Live (the promotor for Jackson's comeback shows) pony up the $$$$$ to cover the extra security costs.

LAPD are urging fans to stay home and watch the memorial live on television, but we can't see that happening in a million years!

Downtown LA is going to be a madhouse on Tuesday!
