War hero brutally beaten by UK police
30 11 08 - 12:29 He was sentenced to 200 hours community service and even ordered to pay compensation to the police officers.His ordeal only ended when Judge John Phipps watched the damning CCTV footage and quashed the verdict on appeal.
Mr Aspinall - highly praised by his commanding officer for bravery against the Taliban in Afghanistan - said: 'I was scared for my life.
'I remember thinking, ‘I’m going to die here. I can’t believe I’ve survived Afghanistan and Iraq and now I’m going to die on this main road in my home town at the hands of the police’. Yet I was the one who ended up in the dock, not the officers.'

[ So much for serving his country. There's no reason for our troops to be in Afghanistan however. Let's bring the war home. ]
