Cops turn tables on alleged gangster who bragged he’d never get caught: ‘You was crying in the cells…’

Officers from the New York Police Department turned the tables on a social media-crazed supposed gang member known for antagonizing law enforcement with viral videos of laughing in his face.

“You was crying in the cells last week…”

Richard Sharp, the self-proclaimed member of the Chicago-based gang Black Disciples who raps under the name Famous Richard has proven himself a nuisance to Big Apple cops. So much so that the New York Post reported the NYPD had issued a safety alert over his behavior which included putting his finger in officers’ faces while harassing them and motioning like he was attempting to take away their sidearms.

Now, after having been arrested on May 12 in Jamaica, Queens for allegedly obstructing traffic and refusing orders to get out of the street while threatening to take an officer’s weapon saying, “I’m going to take your pipe,” it appeared the men and women in blue were having a laugh at the 24-year-old’s expense.

“What’s up son? You was crying in the cells last week, right?” an officer could be heard asking Sharp on the street in midtown in one video posted online.

“Who told you that?” Sharp shot back before the cop added, “I saw you, bro.”

The rapper then turned to a pair of officers standing by and sought another comment only to have one respond, “You were crying in the cell, big guy.”

“Stop lyin’ on my name. You got everybody on TikTok thinking I was really crying,” the rapper lamented.

In another video where Sharp confronts an officer buying a soda, the cop could be seen turning to a colleague and raising the allegations that the rapper had been caught crying in his cell.

“When I was cryin’ in the cell?” Sharp asked the officer, indignant.

“When you got collared,” the cop answered before laughing, “Bro, you got setup, bro. You were going to do a ‘collab’ and our sergeant collared you. And then you were cryin’…because you got your phone taken.”

He joined three other officers walking away from Sharp who contended he was gonna let them “slide.”

“On video you lyin’ though,” he continued as he followed the officers crossing the street.

Following his May 12 arrest, Sharp was reportedly arraigned “on charges of making a terroristic threat, obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest, menacing and disorderly conduct — which are all eligible for bail — and was released on his own recognizance.”

Throughout his videos, he can be heard repeatedly stating “I’m King David” or some variation of the phrase, a reference to the founder of the Black Disciples, David Barksdale, who died in 1974.

According to the NYPD, Sharp has a “history of assault on law enforcement” and of his 12 arrests, three were for firearm possession. Even after those repeated apprehensions he insists, “I’m back out here…You all can’t catch me.”
