J6 Political Prison “Bunky” Crawford Received 32 Blows to the Head Trying Help Stop Police Beating Victoria White, Now He Needs Our Help

My name is Phillip Crawford Jr. but I go by my nickname “Bunky.” On Jan 6, 2021, I traveled to Washington, DC, to attend the Trump Rally. I was there to show my support because I figured I owed it to Trump to be present for all that he had endured by being attacked constantly throughout his whole term. It’s sad to see that so many people in our country love their Jobs more than their country.

For months, we had watched as these best-described – communists – weakened our Nation. So, I went to say thank you to Trump. After the rally, the group I was with left DC by train. Once we made it to our vehicle at the airport, we heard that there was a huge turnout at the Capitol. We contemplated if we should head home or return. We were undecided, so we flipped a coin and the result was to go to the Capitol. We got back on the train and headed back to DC.

I arrived at the Capitol at 3:30 pm. I didn’t see any barricades or restricted area signs. I even asked an officer which way was the Capitol he pointed and said stay straight. I now know that 28 undercover MPD (Metro Police Department) officers on Team 6 were illegally positioned undercover amongst the Trump supporters and I also know, from videos, that these officers lead people into the areas they said were restricted.

Undercover officers can be seen removing barricades and signs. What I saw at the capitol was very disappointing and shocking. I witnessed MPD officers using excessive force everywhere. I saw elderly women and men who were not doing anything illegal getting pushed down steps. A man was pushed off a 25 ft wall by an officer. People were just standing there singing God Bless America and were getting hit by rubber bullets and flash grenades.

As I was peacefully strolling around, taking it all in, I was hit in the face with pepper spray at the hands of an officer. When I made eye contact with him, he shrugged his arms out, flexing to me like what are you going to do about it? As a result of this incident, I can be seen yelling on video, “Let’s just charge up in that mother f*&^” but that was just my way of saying that we don’t have to take this.Of course, the DOJ has misconstrued that video as me trying to “rally troops” to attack the officers at the Capitol.

After 20 minutes, I noticed a commotion at the west tunnel and when I made my way closer I could hear a man 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 better look.

I could see officers beating a woman (Victoria White) in her head with a baton and punching her. I was not going to stand by and allow a woman to be beaten (possibly to death as was Rosanne Boyland) so I made my way through the crowd to the entrance of the left side of the West Tunnel to do my best 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 never hit any officers. I did pull on the leg of an officer after he beat me on the head. I, myself, received 32 blows to the head and a thrown baton to the head. Along with officers striking me in the knee which tore my meniscus. All at the hands of MPD officers acting with excessive force.

Two and a half years later, on July 12, 2023, I was arrested before they had a warrant. Atlanta Magistrate Judge Chris Bly signed the conditions of my release form on July 11th – one day before I was even arrested and before a bond hearing was even held. I was placed on strict house arrest for 5 months with a GPS ankle monitor. I was under the constraints of the ankle monitor for 15 months when Chief Judge Boasberg finally ordered it be removed because it was causing great pain/sores to my ankle and was not serving any beneficial purpose to the DOJ.

I have felt alone for the past 15 months feeling as if no one would help me. I tried to help an innocent civilian get free of the excessive force that was being used on her by using LESS force than the deadly force displayed on her by the MPD.

I have had my rights violated and I made complaints – of which all were ignored. I was assigned two Democrat public defenders who wouldn’t listen to anything I was saying. For 14 months, I did little but argue with the attorneys demanding I plea self-defense of others. I had two lawyers who had the DOJs better interest rather than fighting for mine.

As a result of my being illegally put on house arrest 5 months before I was indicted, I’ve lost my business, my truck, heavy equipment, trailers, guns (they seized all of my guns on July 12, 2023), my savings…everything. My right to due process was violated like no other. I was charged with 11 counts in a complaint filed in DC. My public defenders ignored me from day one. It took 8 months before they even watched any of the videos with me. They didn’t give any of my character letters to the prosecution during my plea bargaining.

I was forced into an open plea that I thought wouldn’t be accepted by the District Judge as meeting the elements of the charges. Because I made it clear, at every moment, that I would never agree that those officers were lawfully performing their duties. Nor did I ever intentionally assault any of them. The prosecution also agreed, but the Judge accepted it.

I felt helpless, and my attorneys weren’t showing me any videos. They told me I didn’t have a case and if I chose to go to trial, I would have to find another lawyer. Out of disgust, I told them, “Fine, I’ll plead guilty to everything since no one will listen to me, and there is no way to get a fair trial.” I told them from day one that I wanted to plead defense of others. They insisted I couldn’t do that.

Immediately after my plea, they finally gave me the discovery evidence. After reviewing the videos in the discovery, I immediately demanded to withdraw my plea. By reviewing those videos and others I found online, I was made aware that I had proof of everything I was claiming. The prosecution only showed short clips of me and omitted the times of the officers beating me. I wrote the Judge three times to explain that I wished to withdraw my plea. My public defenders withdrew as my counsel and I was assigned an attorney (Carmen Hernandez). She seems to be ok at this moment. I am waiting for her to complete her review of the discovery and get back to me. I plan to fight my civil violations but because of the DOJ controlling my every move and scaring away any kind of help my life has been ruined through all of this.

I have three straight-A children and a loving wife, so I must have been doing something right. They had no right to put me on an ankle monitor on house arrest for 5 months. There was no debating that I was not a threat to the public or a flight risk. They just slapped it on me. I had not been late on any of my bills in 15 years. Now, since July 12, 2023, I haven’t been able to pay any of them.

I want those responsible to be held accountable for their communist acts. This is something usually only seen in China or Russia. In my plea, I never said that I “assaulted” the officers (only made “physical contact” by falling into them) nor would I ever agree that the officers were acting lawfully when performing their duties. I have watched Trump fight for this country that I would lay my life down for. I always try to do the right things. That also goes for that day – I know I did the right thing by trying to save Victoria White. Crimes were done by authority figures that day and they must pay.

I am writing this as an effort to salvage my life. And bring awareness that I will not allow them to sweep Jan 6th under the table with only Pardons. There has to be more reparations made to every American they used that day. Every Jan 6th person charged are Americans that the weaponized DOJ used that day to gain political points. My family needs me to be present in their lives.

On Jan 10, 2025, I am scheduled to appear before Chief Judge Boasberg in DC for sentencing for crimes I am not guilty of. At times I think about not even going to this crazy clown court. Although, other than being away from my family, it can’t be much worse than the struggles I already face every day now. More than likely I will go because my children play an important role in my decision making. I can do this with faith with prayer of getting that pardon.  No Jan 6er deserves to get overlooked and forgotten. We all have suffered from the brutality and injustice of a weaponized government that day.

I have had to navigate through a lot of life-altering obstacles the past two years. Financially and emotionally drained to say the least. I have gone from wanting to go anger one week to praying for God to give me peace and understanding the next. Then the next week it is back to anger….an unchanging cycle that would lead to me being on my knees asking God for peace and for change.

Then would come the next day which I would be reading and in desperate search again for anyone that could help or even just listen, only to get the door slammed in my face. Most days I would try to come up with a better new way of trying to get my attorneys to listen to me only to fail once again. Every day I would have to become my own lawyer by studying and trying to cram a typical full-time 3-year law degree into a fast 5 months of home self-taught education. Needless to say, I was unsuccessful. This left me more confused than it helped but I couldn’t change my unwavering desire to search for relief and some way to help.

I constantly was in need of some sort of comfort that progress was happening but then I would wake up early with only 2 hours of sleep to find nothing has changed and no one is listening. So that has been my life. Besides fighting from falling into a depression, which I’ve kept from taking hold due to my young children. I had to look strong and in control for them but I know that there were more than a couple days that they saw how broken I was…now that hurts. The icing on the cake though is feeling that I have been purposely ignored by the rest of most Jan 6ers. This might not really be true but it sure seems that way. I can’t figure out why I feel like I’m being ignored. For what? Loving this country. Trying to help a woman who I thought was about to get killed. I’ve lost everything but I would do the same thing again if I could go back. I wouldn’t change anything. I have never had my voice truly heard throughout my legal case by the court or my lawyers.

You know, I wouldn’t change one action I did that day. Call it vain, but I believe I should be recognized for not being a person who did nothing. Not a person who stood and watched Victoria White getting beat to death because of political reasoning but rather a person who did just actions because it was the right thing to do. There isn’t even a speck of doubt in my heart and soul that thinks I did wrong.

In order to get to Trump’s 88 felony charges, they had to charge all of us first.

I really want to be exonerated of these politically overcharged charges but also want compensation for what they put me and my family through.

In order to accomplish this, I need support by ensuring I am included in the class action suit. This would give me a better chance of picking up the pieces of what’s left in my life. This, I will tell anyone at any time, is that my heart does seek God’s will and my heart is well with Him. God has never ever left me or shut me out. For this as well as all others, I praise His holy name.I have always prayed that Gods will be done in my life. Though I have come short many times, my trust in Him has never faded.

Thank you for your time
God bless America!
