Police March For Ray Bunn


The march is on Tuesday January 17, 2006 at 11:00am from the CNN center to the Fulton Co. Courthouse in Atlanta.

Courtesy the Georgia PBA:

In July 2002, former member and Atlanta officer, Ray Bunn, and his partner were attempting to arrest a suspect they witnessed breaking into a car at 3:30 a.m. The suspect fled and jumped into a waiting SUV. The get-away driver sped toward Officer Bunn in an attempt to run him down. As he was being struck and injured by the vehicle, he fired twice, killing the driver, who was in possession of cocaine, marijuana and stolen property.

Afterward, Officer Bunn continued to serve the citizens of Atlanta until his National Guard unit was deployed to Iraq. After returning, Ray left the city for a position with a State Department Contractor.
Now, after three years and for apparently political reasons only, the district attorney has succeeded in indicting Ray for murder after finding an "expert" from Colorado who is willing to dispute the findings of the GBI Crime Lab and department investigators.

Ray and his family would appreciate any contribution you can make to his legal defense fund. Checks should be mailed to:

Raymond Bunn Defense Fund
Attn: Ms. Tamika Jatta
Wachovia Bank
494 Ponce de Leon Ave., N.E.
Atlanta, GA 30308
