A body cam video shot by a Vermont State Police trooper and obtained by the Banner reveals the violent scene as a handcuffed individual berating troopers is punched in the back of his head and dragged along the ground to the VSP vehicle in his Shaftsbury driveway in 2021.
The 44-minute video caught by Trooper David Pfindel’s body camera shows Pfindel arriving at the snowy scene on Tinkham Road in Shaftsbury on Feb. 23, 2021, to find both VSP Trooper Jeremy Sullivan and Trooper Robert Zink ordering Christopher Campbell onto his knees in his driveway. A silver truck can be seen nearby with its front tire in a side ditch on the driveway, and an orange tractor pulled up in front of the vehicle.
Campbell is seen voluntarily dropping to his knees, facing away from the troopers, with his hands clasped on the back of his head. Sullivan and Zink approach, ordering Campbell, apparently intoxicated and screaming, to put his hands behind his back. Both officers then tackle Campbell from behind and force him onto his stomach in the snow, where he is handcuffed. All this time, Campbell is screaming that they are in his driveway.
The video shows both troopers lifting Campbell to his feet and leading him toward one of the squad cars. As they are walking, Campbell momentarily breaks their grasp, and Zink grabs hold of the man. All three men slide down the snow-covered driveway several feet as Sullivan forces Campbell’s head down into the snow. A few seconds later, Zink lands the first of several punches toward Campbell’s legs. Pfindel turns and quickly walks to his squad car and readies the back seat for Campbell. When he returns, the video shows Campbell back on his belly with his hands cuffed behind his back, continuing to struggle and curse the kneeling officers above him. Zink is seen with his head bowed down, catching his breath, as he and Sullivan apply weight with their forearms to Campbell’s back.
Zink is seen throwing a punch at Campbell’s leg, and voice yells, “Let go of me.” Zink then throws two more punches toward Campbell’s legs, and, seconds later, with Campbell visually in handcuffs, Zink starts punching Campbell repeatedly in the back of the head. Trooper Sullivan yells, “Hey-hey-hey,” reaching out toward Zink’s arm to stop the blows as Zink continues to punch at Campbell’s head. Sullivan is then seen with his knee planted on Campbell’s back, screaming at Campbell to “shut up.”
Zink stands up and takes a breath, then grabs Campbell, dragging him by the shoulder of a vest several feet through the snow toward a squad car as Campbell remains handcuffed. Sullivan moves toward Campbell as Pfindel is heard saying, “He’s bleeding real bad from the back of the head.”
It is unclear from the video how that injury occurred. Pfindel then radios for rescue. At some point, Campbell says, “You punched me in the head for no reason.” Zink responds by saying, “You were grabbing us.” Campbell is yelling, struggling, and cursing the officers all this time.
According to an official affidavit in the case, Sullivan had screamed, “Stop going for my taser.” However, those words could not be heard on Pfindel's video.
Once Campbell was lifted into the squad car, blood can be seen on the snow where Campbell was lying. The troopers decided to bring Campbell into the Shaftsbury barracks. The rest of the video shows Campbell inside the cruiser resisting medical aid from rescue personnel and acting belligerent toward the troopers before being led to a barracks holding cell.
Zink was charged in April 2021 with one count of simple assault for “recklessly causing bodily injury” for striking Campbell in the head with a closed fist while Campbell was handcuffed. Just minutes before the jury was ushered in, an emergency defense motion to dismiss the charges was granted by Judge Kerry McDonald-Cady after she agreed with the defense’s argument that the state had violated discovery by not producing vital Use of Force Reports (UOFR) filled out by the officers involved in the incident that could have potentially exonerated Zink. The jury was dismissed without hearing any testimony.
After the dismissal motion was granted, defense attorney David Sleigh told a reporter of Zink, “He wants to be a Vermont State Trooper, always has. Fifteen years and never an excessive force complaint.”
Zink turned in his level-3 certification on June 30. He resigned from the Vermont State Police that same day.
In January 2022, Campbell filed a $25 million lawsuit in U.S. District Court, naming all three troopers — all of the Shaftsbury Barracks at the time — and several other unnamed parties. Campbell claimed excessive force, denial of timely medical care, failure to intervene, negligence, and assault and battery in his 10-page lawsuit, which has been on hold until Zink’s case was resolved. The Vermont State Police were dismissed as a defendant. The lawsuit instead names the State of Vermont as a defendant.
Trooper Pfendel resigned with two other unrelated troopers in September 2021 amid allegations that they had "varying roles" in producing fake COVID-19 vaccination cards, accusations that prompted an FBI investigation. Trooper Sullivan has also resigned.
Attempts to reach the Vermont State Police for comment on the video were unsuccessful as of press time. Campbell declined comment for this story. An attempt was made to reach Robert Zink for comment through his criminal attorney, David Sleigh. Those attempts were also unsuccessful.
Luckily for Crudup the whole thing was recorded in 4K.
BLM will still feed off it.
The visuals are still "Police Brutality - AA suspect"
funny how the right wing scum is here defending criminals, you think this black guy will become a peacefull civilian after this shit? you fucking idiots, murica is doomed.
He was Three Thousand Miles to Graceland with that elevator.
https://youtu.be/-cnMFMlRLO0 yeah remember when movies were good?
Haha y'all see the cop that tripped?
Remember when COPS were actually peace keepers...? Me neither!
No.... can't say that I do. They were serving up police brutality, and are trying to protect themselves legally. So they did protect and serve.
With all those cops responding; I think the brother stole the cop's donuts.
I don't see where they say what the draedlocked brother did?
Attempted theft of an elevator was all I saw...as It was unoccupied so it was no elevator jacking.
Someone should tell them they could get a lot more done if they didn’t travel in packs of 50.
those cops need to hit the gym. weaklings.
Those cops need to hit the unemployment line, if they have the resources to send 20 out to ONE CALL!
I think their tactic is something like "swarm him, claim he was resisting, use that as basis to damn near kill him"
You're finally catching on...
In every society they infect, the dusky citizen will contribute the least and cost the most. Just imagine how many man hours were logged by all those cops for this one guy.
They should send the bill to the perp's dad....if they can find him.
The Entire Miami Dade Police force responded? Looks like the guy had given up initially. IDIOTS!
Cuban cops don't like the Black man.
One time i was walking in Buffalo on a side street. Some guy was coming towards me so i crossed the street since my apartment was on that side anyways. Black dude was dressed head to toe in a red track suit. So right away i thought "blood" gangster type. Suddenly every car in the area pulled over and they all jumped out to chase this guy. I mean fat, old, desk jockies and plain clothes detectives. I assume he probably killed a cop and they were tracking this dude for awhile.
It was probably unpaid parking tickets or back child support.
After watching this I guess it's possible.
Great story fucktard, tell it again
dems are the fucking problem. you need to circle back on that. they are openly socialist and marxist and want open borders which will ruin America but u probably want that. dems allowed antifa and BLM (hijacked movement now) to destroy their cities in order to cause a problem so the government can roll in and provide THEIR solution. the globalists solution. which is more power for govt, less for the people. i'm sure you think the Capitol "riot" was actually a riot.
We should call Notorious "Circle Back Jen"
What a friggin' loser.
"It's all Trump and DeSantis fault....waaah
#neverEvercared 😂
#metoo..either😇
You need some of that hemorrhoid cream with extra sand in it.
President Trump and Governor DeSantis must be tired as hell after running through your mind 24/7.
They're gonna need lots of Spicand Spade,a mop and bucket and about 30 lawyers to clean all of that blood up.
Tunnel vision?
This will wind up costing the taxpayers in the end. Cops should be required to carry Errors and Omissions insurance paid for by themselves. When they pull some crazy shit like this it comes out of their insurance policy and not the taxpayers.
AMERICA'S LARGEST STREET GANG.......
:40..... last and still tripped over himself...haha
They were just a couple of porch pals from the wrong side of town... until one day they got on the wrong side of some spick cops. This July, see what happens when two worlds collide. Come experience the summer movie event that will have negroes popping caps outside the Korean mart by your house right as school gets out for the day, 'cause they got some M.D. 20/20 in they blood and they wildin' out.
You'll laugh. You'll cheer. You'll stop to smoke one bowl, which becomes three bowls, and forget you left 49 tabs open, drain the battery life out of the laptop you stole from your ex-girlfriend, then make the mistake of going out two hours before last call with a pocket full of rent money and nothing in your stomach.
JaQuan Something. LaJohn Someone. One pick. Two Swisher Sweets. Three spick cops with nasty cocaine habits they picked up after skimming from the evidence locker one two many Saturday nights. And a bunch of other uniforms who know that a brother's brain case can usually take extra hits and bounce back like a speed bag, thanks to negroid skull thickness.
Kicking Crudup. Rated G.
Assume the fetal position.
The dems spent months causing a massive crime wave by defunding police you freak. Who fucking cares if criminals are beaten? Why are you acting like they're innocent?
why do you think a police officer can become a criminal? you want a situation back in 1970 in new york? you a stupid lemming and also defending criminals ( im not talking bout the black victim )
Crudup's street name is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.oo
"---- (I forgot what they call it). ------ A feeding frenzy ?????? Old Stubby was right, there's a donut involved in this story somewhere. Never get between a black man and his pork or a cop and his donut.
Seemed a wee bit excessive to me.
Atta boy 1 guest vote. Your perpetual down voting my post gives me great joy to know that I can still trigger you.
🐷.
In Brazil , the cops would have shot him at least 10 times.
Damn, I haven't seen anything like that since Matrix Reloaded when more and more Agent Smiths kept coming into the picture.
All those cops for one brother? SERIOUSLY?
I don't see much difference between the cops and antifa. They are just itching to beat anyone up. Thugs with badges. They even beat the innocent guy filming. Holy shit these cops are criminals.
Trust the cops....
But what did the very nice honor students do to have 25 cops chasing them? As they say, it wasn't for 'singing too loud in the choir'. It's absolutely ridiculous to have criminals play by one set of rules and then make the cops play by 'nice rules'. These thugs would have been kicking the hell out of any one of these cop's heads, given the chance. You know it and I know it.
Do I think there needed to be 25 cops there. No. But adrenaline kicks in and they are just human like the rest of us. So what, a thug negro gets kicked in the head a few times. It's nothing worse than his gang initiation and father-less upbringing. You leftist with your fake indignation (go ahead and look that word up) are just plain silly and naive. You've never lived a day in the hood or any big inner city.
I could see a cop on fire by the side of the road and I won't even stop to take a piss on him.
I hope they kill all the pigs in blue.
Why do we keep allowing atrocities caused by shitskins?
I guess? The same reason we keep hiring 20 thug cops( YES. Literally 20 fkg pigs for ONE GUY that already surrendered!...To apprehend ONE guy, that voluntarily put his hands behind his back...? Thank god the kid didn't have his cell phone out, else they would still be filling him with lead!
Maybe don't be a lowlife criminal, is that really so hard for you? To not abuse innocent people? Scumbags like this being abused means nothing, they have it coming.
Again; According to your logic, if you so much as speed, you should expect 20 cops to beat the life out of you...? Even if you surrender, immediately...? You must be a BLAST at parties...?
'abuse innocent people', not break any law, and 'low life criminal' not anyone that has committed any crime. Finish learning to read.
And yes, the people I mentioned should expect to be beaten up, and worse. Like Saint Floyd for example, an abusive scum bag that was nothing but a plague on our planet, he got exactly what deserved, self inflicted or not.
...
The knegrow ran like a kiddy-buggrer.
Speeding? We are talking about two very different things. You should just stop. Act like a punk and get treated like one. Screw the law and your feelings!
You mean, STOP like HE DID? Or, stop, but keep on running? Seriously; GF YOURSELF!
Boo-hoo. You’re all emotions buddy. No logic.
ROFLMAO! I don't have any logic...? Bahahahahah!
I don't expect you to be able to read English properly, don't worry.
Yes; you ape. I have seen numerous chimps on the left say that if any whitey using the single N1gg3r word is legitimate for a neegrow to be allowed to kill them. Imagine whitey being allowed to kill blacks because they say the same word.
don't be a low life cop either, those exist too
Yeah, and that tiny group of people should be punished. An overwhelming amount of the criminals that are killed or hurt by them deserved it.
Including Floyd.
For the same reason they flogged British sailors or beat the schit out of Cool Hand Luke.
Not only must the rules and discipline be enforced, they must be seen to be enforced and
boy did we get an eyeful here. Let's face it, the other knee grow that got punched out , he's gonna sue too. What didn he do wrong ??? Well he smiled and that's enough. Never yell "He cain't BREEVE" when cops are beating someone and you are filming it.
WHY DO WE ALLOW YOU RACISTS OF CUMSKINS TO EVEN EXIST IN THIS
REALITY ITS A PRIVELEDGE AND YOUVE EARNED ABSOLUTE REVOCANCE
I dont think they sent enough cops after just one man lol
Swat was coming with the motorized battering ram, but had the wrong address due to communication issues...
A bit of overkill. The damn cops looked like cockroaches climbing all over him.
They were to easy on the n1gg3r. There wasn’t much blood.
The officer in charge effed up. All those cops overreacted and lost control. Modern era Keystone Cops. It would have been super hilarious if the man being arrested wound up slipping out of their grip and just walked out the door like nothing happened while the police were beating each other up. I am sure the watch Captain is having a boat load of fun dumped in his lap thanks to this and I am sure the PR headache is making him do overtime trying to sort out how to handle this. Also I am sure higher ranking officers are being given a rather fun time too with having to talk to the Watch Commander and HIS Commander and the Mayor and other City Councilpersons.
Nothing like watching Derp in Blue.
With his hands BEHIND HIS BACK...? Try again MORON...?
Seeing as the Demochimp prosecutors will not jail the criminal-clowns, then the Police have to do some street justice here & there.
i saw them surround him....that's all i saw. Nothing about why he was being chased? and when you see a camera on an antifa or O'color....do exactly what the officer did.
Shoulda taken da stairs lazy muthafuckah
THEY SHOULD BE JUSTIFYINGLY
EXECUTED FOR UNJUSTIFIABLE
ABUSE & RACISM
A TYPICAL QUMSKIN HIDING BEHIND
A RACIST PROFILE
