The Los Angeles Police Department today was investigating a cop party performance of a Michael Brown parody song, which mocked the victim of the infamous Ferguson, Missouri police shooting that sparked a national debate over how law enforcement interacts with unarmed black men.
The performance was a version of Jim Croce’s “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” except lyrics included the lines, “And Michael looked like some old Swiss cheese / His brain splattered on the floor / And he’s dead, dead Michael Brown / Deadest man in the whole damn town.”
Protesters already planning on a 6 p.m. “Festivus” demonstration on police shootings outside LAPD headquarters tonight said they would be decrying the incident as well. The parody performance on Monday, Dec. 15 at the Glendale Elks Grand Lodge was captured on video (below).
