Uh-oh... this can't be good.

Turns out the police were wrong (er...lied?) about the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes on the London Underground on July 21st.

But the camera does not lie.

And CCTV footage shows that Menezes was wearing a light denim jacket, not a suspicious-looking heavy coat.

IT also shows Menezes calmly walking into and through the subway station, even stopping to pick up a paper.

Police are now denying that they ever suggested that he jumped the turnstiles or even that he ran from the police (who, we should remember, were in plain clothes).

Most disturbing of all is that he wasn't even wearing a rucksack.

Essentially, all that we are left with is that a man left a building that was under surveillance, and committed the crime of having a dark complexion and going to a train station.

Excuse me while I go get sick.
