J6 political prisoner Phillip Crawford Jr. was arrested because of his actions to step in to stop police from beating Victoria White in the head. Crawford himself was crushed within the head by police no less than 32 occasions for making an attempt to assist a weak lady.
Phillip not too long ago wrote to The Gateway Pundit readers to share his vital story.
My identify is Phillip Crawford Jr. however I am going by my nickname “Bunky.” On Jan 6, 2021, I traveled to Washington, DC, to attend the Trump Rally. I used to be there to indicate my help as a result of I figured I owed it to Trump to be current for all that he had endured by being attacked continually all through his complete time period. It’s unhappy to see that so many individuals in our nation love their Jobs greater than their nation.
For months, we had watched as these best-described – communists – weakened our Nation. So, I went to say thanks to Trump. After the rally, the group I used to be with left DC by practice. As soon as we made it to our automobile on the airport, we heard that there was an enormous turnout on the Capitol. We contemplated if we should always head residence or return. We have been undecided, so we flipped a coin and the outcome was to go to the Capitol. We bought again on the practice and headed again to DC.
I arrived on the Capitol at 3:30 pm. I didn’t see any barricades or restricted space indicators. I even requested an officer which manner was the Capitol he pointed and stated keep straight. I now know that 28 undercover MPD (Metro Police Division) officers on Crew 6 have been illegally positioned undercover amongst the Trump supporters and I additionally know, from movies, that these officers lead folks into the areas they stated have been restricted.
Undercover officers might be seen eradicating barricades and indicators. What I noticed on the capitol was very disappointing and stunning. I witnessed MPD officers utilizing extreme pressure all over the place. I noticed aged ladies and men who weren’t doing something unlawful getting pushed down steps. A person was pushed off a 25 ft wall by an officer. Individuals have been simply standing there singing God Bless America and have been getting hit by rubber bullets and flash grenades.

As I used to be peacefully strolling round, taking all of it in, I used to be hit within the face with pepper spray by the hands of an officer. After I made eye contact with him, he shrugged his arms out, flexing to me like what are you going to do about it? On account of this incident, I might be seen yelling on video, “Let’s simply cost up in that mom f*&^” however that was simply my manner of claiming that we don’t need to take this.In fact, the DOJ has misconstrued that video as me making an attempt to “rally troops” to assault the officers on the Capitol.
After 20 minutes, I observed a commotion on the west tunnel and after I made my manner nearer I may hear a person yelling “Please don’t beat her, you’re going to kill her.” I stood on a handrail 2 seconds after he yelled that to get a greater look.
I may see officers beating a lady (Victoria White) in her head with a baton and punching her. I used to be not going to face by and permit a lady to be crushed (presumably to loss of life as was Rosanne Boyland) so I made my manner by means of the gang to the doorway of the left facet of the West Tunnel to do my finest to free her of the assault she was trapped in.
My ONLY focus was to get her to a safer place. I had no intent of assaulting officers and I by no means hit any officers. I did pull on the leg of an officer after he beat me on the top. I, myself, obtained 32 blows to the top and a thrown baton to the top. Together with officers hanging me within the knee which tore my meniscus. All by the hands of MPD officers performing with extreme pressure.
Two and a half years later, on July 12, 2023, I used to be arrested earlier than that they had a warrant. Atlanta Justice of the Peace Choose Chris Bly signed the circumstances of my launch type on July eleventh – sooner or later earlier than I used to be even arrested and earlier than a bond listening to was even held. I used to be positioned on strict home arrest for five months with a GPS ankle monitor. I used to be underneath the constraints of the ankle monitor for 15 months when Chief Choose Boasberg lastly ordered or not it’s eliminated as a result of it was inflicting nice ache/sores to my ankle and was not serving any helpful objective to the DOJ.
I’ve felt alone for the previous 15 months feeling as if nobody would assist me. I attempted to assist an harmless civilian get freed from the extreme pressure that was getting used on her by utilizing LESS pressure than the lethal pressure displayed on her by the MPD.
I’ve had my rights violated and I made complaints – of which all have been ignored. I used to be assigned two Democrat public defenders who wouldn’t hearken to something I used to be saying. For 14 months, I did little however argue with the attorneys demanding I plea self-defense of others. I had two attorneys who had the DOJs higher curiosity quite than preventing for mine.
On account of my being illegally placed on home arrest 5 months earlier than I used to be indicted, I’ve misplaced my enterprise, my truck, heavy tools, trailers, weapons (they seized all of my weapons on July 12, 2023), my financial savings…the whole lot. My proper to due course of was violated like no different. I used to be charged with 11 counts in a criticism filed in DC. My public defenders ignored me from day one. It took 8 months earlier than they even watched any of the movies with me. They didn’t give any of my character letters to the prosecution throughout my plea bargaining.
I used to be pressured into an open plea that I believed wouldn’t be accepted by the District Choose as assembly the weather of the costs. As a result of I made it clear, at each second, that I’d by no means agree that these officers have been lawfully performing their duties. Nor did I ever deliberately assault any of them. The prosecution additionally agreed, however the Choose accepted it.
I felt helpless, and my attorneys weren’t exhibiting me any movies. They advised me I didn’t have a case and if I selected to go to trial, I must discover one other lawyer. Out of disgust, I advised them, “Fantastic, I’ll plead responsible to the whole lot since nobody will hearken to me, and there’s no approach to get a good trial.” I advised them from day one which I needed to plead protection of others. They insisted I couldn’t try this.

Instantly after my plea, they lastly gave me the invention proof. After reviewing the movies within the discovery, I instantly demanded to withdraw my plea. By reviewing these movies and others I discovered on-line, I used to be made conscious that I had proof of the whole lot I used to be claiming. The prosecution solely confirmed brief clips of me and omitted the occasions of the officers beating me. I wrote the Choose 3 times to elucidate that I wanted to withdraw my plea. My public defenders withdrew as my counsel and I used to be assigned an lawyer (Carmen Hernandez). She appears to be okay at this second. I’m ready for her to finish her overview of the invention and get again to me. I plan to struggle my civil violations however due to the DOJ controlling my each transfer and scaring away any form of assist my life has been ruined by means of all of this.
I’ve three straight-A kids and a loving spouse, so I should have been doing one thing proper. That they had no proper to place me on an ankle monitor on home arrest for five months. There was no debating that I used to be not a menace to the general public or a flight threat. They simply slapped it on me. I had not been late on any of my payments in 15 years. Now, since July 12, 2023, I haven’t been capable of pay any of them.
I would like these accountable to be held accountable for his or her communist acts. That is one thing often solely seen in China or Russia. In my plea, I by no means stated that I “assaulted” the officers (solely made “bodily contact” by falling into them) nor would I ever agree that the officers have been performing lawfully when performing their duties. I’ve watched Trump struggle for this nation that I’d lay my life down for. I at all times attempt to do the precise issues. That additionally goes for that day – I do know I did the precise factor by making an attempt to avoid wasting Victoria White. Crimes have been executed by authority figures that day and so they should pay.
I’m scripting this as an effort to salvage my life. And convey consciousness that I cannot permit them to brush Jan sixth underneath the desk with solely Pardons. There must be extra reparations made to each American they used that day. Each Jan sixth individual charged are People that the weaponized DOJ used that day to achieve political factors. My household wants me to be current of their lives.
On Jan 10, 2025, I’m scheduled to look earlier than Chief Choose Boasberg in DC for sentencing for crimes I’m not responsible of. At occasions I take into consideration not even going to this loopy clown court docket. Though, apart from being away from my household, it will probably’t be a lot worse than the struggles I already face day by day now. Greater than probably I’ll go as a result of my kids play an vital position in my choice making. I can do that with religion with prayer of getting that pardon. No Jan 6er deserves to get ignored and forgotten. All of us have suffered from the brutality and injustice of a weaponized authorities that day.
I’ve needed to navigate by means of a number of life-altering obstacles the previous two years. Financially and emotionally drained to say the least. I’ve gone from eager to go anger one week to praying for God to offer me peace and understanding the following. Then the following week it’s again to anger….an unchanging cycle that will result in me being on my knees asking God for peace and for change.
Then would come the following day which I’d be studying and in determined search once more for anybody that would assist and even simply hear, solely to get the door slammed in my face. Most days I’d attempt to give you a greater new manner of making an attempt to get my attorneys to hearken to me solely to fail as soon as once more. Every single day I must grow to be my very own lawyer by finding out and making an attempt to cram a typical full-time 3-year regulation diploma into a quick 5 months of residence self-taught schooling. Evidently, I used to be unsuccessful. This left me extra confused than it helped however I couldn’t change my unwavering need to seek for reduction and a way to assist.
***Please help Bunky here.***
I continually was in want of some type of consolation that progress was occurring however then I’d get up early with solely 2 hours of sleep to seek out nothing has modified and nobody is listening. In order that has been my life. In addition to preventing from falling right into a despair, which I’ve saved from taking maintain because of my younger kids. I needed to look sturdy and in management for them however I do know that there have been greater than a pair days that they noticed how damaged I used to be…now that hurts. The icing on the cake although is feeling that I’ve been purposely ignored by the remainder of most Jan 6ers. This would possibly not likely be true but it surely positive appears that manner. I can’t work out why I really feel like I’m being ignored. For what? Loving this nation. Attempting to assist a lady who I believed was about to get killed. I’ve misplaced the whole lot however I’d do the identical factor once more if I may return. I wouldn’t change something. I’ve by no means had my voice really heard all through my authorized case by the court docket or my attorneys.
You understand, I wouldn’t change one motion I did that day. Name it useless, however I consider I ought to be acknowledged for not being an individual who did nothing. Not an individual who stood and watched Victoria White getting beat to loss of life due to political reasoning however quite an individual who did simply actions as a result of it was the precise factor to do. There isn’t even a speck of doubt in my coronary heart and soul that thinks I did unsuitable.
With the intention to get to Trump’s 88 felony costs, they needed to cost all of us first.
I actually wish to be exonerated of those politically overcharged costs but additionally need compensation for what they put me and my household by means of.
With the intention to accomplish this, I want help by guaranteeing I’m included within the class motion go well with. This could give me a greater likelihood of selecting up the items of what’s left in my life. This, I’ll inform anybody at any time, is that my coronary heart does search God’s will and my coronary heart is nicely with Him. God has by no means ever left me or shut me out. For this in addition to all others, I reward His holy identify.I’ve at all times prayed that Gods might be executed in my life. Although I’ve come brief many occasions, my belief in Him has by no means pale.
Thanks to your time
God bless America!
