Paddy Wagon facts

While investigating facts about Paddy Wagon, I found out little known, but curios details like:

After being beaten and arrested by police for being gay, Stonewall rioter Raymond Castro was placed in the back of a paddy wagon. The wagon was already filled with three members of the Mafia, who reassured him "don't worry kid, you're ok in our book."

The term paddy wagon came from the word "paddy" which is a slur for Irish people. It became common in England because the Irish were known criminals and common in the US because the Irish were known as police officers
