“A song poking fun at the killing of black teenager Michael Brown by a white policeman, performed at a retired officer’s party, has prompted the Los Angeles Police Department to launch an internal investigation, its chief said on Tuesday.

“Michael Brown learned a lesson about a messin’ with a badass policeman,” goes the song, captured on video and posted on entertainment news website TMZ. It continues: “Michael looked like some old Swiss cheese” … his brain “splattered on the floor.”

The video is likely to fuel public anger over police killings of black men. About 200 people marched in New York on Tuesday, defying Mayor Bill de Blasio’s call for protests to be suspended after two police officers were killed in their patrol car on Saturday in an apparent revenge attack.” *
