Michael Bunting is a former policeman who ended up being sentenced to four months in prison for retaliating during a vicious attack. The attack is a harrowing story but the treatment he received in prison was much, much worse. (His attacker was given 120 hours community service).
“You’re in our territory now, you f*****g filth, and we’re gonna f*****g carve you up.’
Michael was sacked from the Police Force on his release (standard procedure it seems) but Michael still protests his innocence. Many of his colleagues supported him despite intimidation by the judiciary- at least one did not.
He will be sending a copy of the book to Jack Straw who defended have a go heroes last summer. He comes across as a broken man who has been to hell on a handcart and back, only now slowly starting to pull together his new life.
You can find the book on Amazon and Michael’s website (including a blog) here.
Thank you for this blog entry. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Michael.
