Openly gay Deputy Assistant Commissioner Brian Paddick, who became the public face of London’s police force following the transit bombings last July, says he is being made the fall guy over the mistaken shooting of Brazilian Charles de Menezes at Stockwell tube station. According to Pink News, “Mr Paddick believes he is being accused of lying after the Met said that rumours of a senior officer knowing Mr de Menezes was wrongfully shot just six hours after his death were untrue.”
