An Atlanta man who fell from a high rise building in downtown Atlanta Tuesday morning was handcuffed when he supposedly jumped.
Tyquan Richardson, 22, died after he reportedly jumped through a 3rd story window while handcuffed and in police custody, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Richardson was arrested on Thursday, Sept. 17 on cocaine and marijuana possession charges. He was released on $1,500 bond on Friday.
While attending a hearing on “pretrial intervention” at the court building, a janitor found a handgun outside the building. The gun was wrapped in court papers bearing Richardson’s name.
Officers confronted Richardson who admitted the gun was his. The gun possession violated the conditions of his bond and Richardson was re-arrested.
According to the AJC.com, Richardson articulated to an officer that he was not going back to jail.
“Once in custody, handcuffed, and seated, the individual arose and ran headfirst into an exterior window, crashing through it and falling approximately 40 feet to the sidewalk on Walton Street,” Capt. Michael O’Connor told the AJC.com.
Richardson’s death is raising questions on social media about the probability of a handcuffed individual hurling himself through a window while surrounded by “three to four” Fulton deputies.
Photos from Richardson’s Facebook page show a young man who was in a relationship and full of life.
“It’s so unusual,” Capt. O’Connor said, “that it kind of defies anything that anybody would think of beforehand.”
Another day, another hashtag. #TYQUANRICHARDSON died after "falling" out of a 3rd floor window. He was handcuffed, in police custody.

Is anyone questioning the supposed suicide of Tyquan Richardson in ATL today? Odd for a handcuffed man to jump out window. Video? @deray

The fact eem two yt women are like FOH…
Hope they get to bottom of this
I need more facts…
That being said, if he was dumb enough to wrap a handgun up with personal identifying papers (and subsequently admit to it) outside of the courthouse, he may just be dumb enough to think he can survive a jump from the 3rd floor of a building. The fact that he was surrounded by cops doesn’t make it any less possible to me…only because they are generally incompetent.
In the words of Outkast “This sh!t here must stop……like freeze.”
….right….seriously, why bring the gun to court in the first place? And then to use papers with your personal info on it to “hide” the gun? Geez, he had no sense whatsoever….
Exactly. What was the purpose of the gun? Obviously, that doesn’t mean he killed himself but it definitely makes me question his reasoning abilities/mental state.
Uh, yeah, uhm. I don’t want to villify the victim, so I’ll go do some work.
How smart was he to admit it was his gun, it could have been anyone’s gun. He could have dropped his papers outside the court house and someone just happened to pick it up an use it. And what reason would the cops have to throw him out a window when he was already cuffed???
This story is missing some pieces and I need more info. So they don’t have stronger glass in high rise buildings? Nobody tried to stop him? Was everyone on a donut break? That story about the gun sounds really stupid…almost made up.
Now upon further research, I would like to know if the picture up top of the broken window, is the actual window that he allegedly jumped from? It’s shaped odd. I mean I’ve seen a few episodes of CSI and I think I am qualified to say that unless he dove (head first) out the window, one of those cops pushed him, head first, out of the window.
But since he may be delayed, he may have jumped head first out the window. I can’t call it…
Bringing the gun makes me question his mental state. I also assumed that he thought he could survive the fall. But where the hell would he go handcuffed if he did survive the fall? Smh.
RIP
This story sound shady af….
:blankstare: Morning All!
Sup Jen
Ummm ain’t no telling what folks will do when their back is up against the wall…
Why take a gun to court, he didn’t know the routinely have the dogs out looking for that?!?!
GOD bless his family during their time of sorrow.
I don’t know, but RIP young man. ??
Lol. It’s not funny and I’m truly not laughing at his death. But, if the gun story is true, he seems like the type that has seen one too many Damon Dash produced crime movies. So, he may have had some elaborate nonsenical plan. He was going to saw the cuffs off or something.
Heyyyyyy. Hope you’re having a good one
A janitor found a gun… And dude admitted it was his. What nigga does that? They tried to plant that gun on him and when he wouldn’t comply, they pushed him out the window. I bet one of them officers let his temper get the best of him and shoved dude out the window….
Ain’t nobody who just bonded out of jail taking no gun charges… Unless I missed something
So far so good. I’m ready to eat!
nope! not buying it. i never ever jump on the conspiracy bandwagon. but something stinks about this whole story. not one of the officers present attempted to stop him when they saw him get up? i mean he was in their custody. and anyone could have gotten copies of his court papers. didn’t mean the gun was his. he admitted the gun was his? that sounds like some BS. no black man i know would take no gun charges. and if he did it was probably not on his own free will. something in the water stinks here.
The more I think about it, the more I don’t understand. He had an extremely low bail. He was out on bail. He was going for a pre-trial appearance. What was the gun for? Why was he saying he wasn’t going back to jail? He made it seem like he was facing 20 years or something. I need more information…
“Photos from Richardson’s Facebook page show a young man who was in a relationship and full of life.” The photos are TWO YEARS old.
Seems like A LOT is missing from this story
EXACTLY!
They was trying to make him take that gun charge. He was prolly was like fuk you mean? Then they tossed his ass out the window….#coppriviledges
I mean, did dude have a metal plate in head and ran with the speed of a locomotive? Because I would hate to think that courthouse has cheep a$$ window panes like they do in some apartments.
Shyt, folks get hurled thru a damn car and only leave the spider web on a windshield.
Something in the milk ain’t clean. Not saying the cops threw him, per se, but something else had to have happened RIGHT before he took flight.
My thing is, why not leave the gun in the car…..or better yet, at home?
Was he showing any signs of restlessness? Or he just [allegedly] blankly rose up out of his seat after being cuffed and crashed through a window?!? FOH. I’m not buying that, Captain.
Is that the environmental services lady peering out the window? Why she all over the “crime” scene?
Oop just saw that. That window, if it indeed the window he supposedly jumped out off, is shaped all kinds of weird. It’s smashed more so to the corner and the bottom pane is still intact.
Unless he had watched too many The Rock flicks and thought he would actually survive a tuck and roll to have a story for the homies at the end – I’m confused. I think it’s with noting that he had a relatively minor charge and bail at $1,500 and allegedly showed up to court with a) a gun b) “hid” it in paperwork with his name and address all over it c) still had a gun after getting arrested on a drug case.
This entire scenario speaks to either a conspiracy… Or criminal behavior from a criminal who REALLY wasn’t as about that life as his braids and arrest record suggest.
And that whole gun thing sound like they just threw that shyt in for flavor. Like a bay leaf.
Or criminal behavior from a criminal who REALLY wasn’t as about that life as his braids and arrest record suggest.

Yeah… I kinda feel like he would need a lot of momentum for that. He just started running from the other end of the hall and they just stood there and watched. Even if this is true, they all need to be fired. Seriously. You found a gun outside of the courthouse that he confessed belonged to him and that didn’t indicate that he needed any additional monitoring/security?
Like week old boolsheet
Like a bay leaf…DEAD
Rest In Peace
#JusticeForBlackMen
Environmental services wear button downs now? LOL
What kind of fish are they cooking up now Perch or Tilapia? ?
Girl, and do you see that the whole is at the very bottom of the window pane? If someone jumped, wouldn’t the whole be closer to the top and more closely resembling the shape of their body.
another day another hashtag ??? RIP TyQuan
You know what…I thought the same thing, but glad you said it.
Swai…..kin to the Catfish. #eww
I agree and what gets me NO ONE stopped him and he was surronded by how many police officers?
Hey Where you been Big Time?
Folks that I’m met, or know folks that got plates, report odd behavior. I hope they get to the bottom of it.
AND Sandra, you dead a$$ wrong for that inset pic. Got Wish Bone up there looking like he 3 sandwiches shy of a picnic.
Since when are handcuffed criminals not handcuffed to something? Like a bench, desk that’s bolted into a floor, etc???
Believe it or not, some do…
Please GTFOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dead*
I’ll be back later if, the story is funny.
“Maybe in 5, 15 minutes or 5 days.” Quote Taken I passed out after reading that.
…and in a courtroom full of people; unless they were in a private room. Still…
We don’t know if he admitted it. That’s their story!!
Exactly my point. This angers me to the root of my soul. The photos of him, albeit perhaps dated, do not paint a portrait of someone who would jump out of a window. But I mourn the loss of another brother anyhow.
White people are so egotistical that they think we dumb enough to believe that shyt. Even their kind don’t really believe it, but it one less nigga on this earth, so who cares…, but the gall to think we are dumb enough to believe this is amazing. This is how they duping us for 500 years… It’s crazy
Are there any security cameras to justify this?
You know what?!? You are absolutely right ?
He didn’t want to go to jail, so he jumped to his death?? Peculiar.
They were probably out of order that day. SMH
Well Devil’s Advocate here….That window isn’t that thick and it actually doesn’t take an extremely amount of momentum. The gun probably fell out of his pocket hence why he had the court paper wrapped around it and he DID admit it was his. It could be possible, not saying it did happen but it could be.
Lol…
Yes that part was def Odd. It doesn’t make sense.
Grainy or lost footage.
We can’t even go a month in peace without a suspicious death can we?
I refuse ?
Takes a lot of crazy/ confidence to know that window was going to bust when he “rammed” his his head into it…
yall want me 2 believe this young man came 2 court w the hammer remembered & wrapped it in HIS court papers then threw himself outta window for a VOP?! ? #MmmmOmg
…or the “we only keep security footage for 24 hrs” excuse.
That’s what I said. It definitely could be possible… if he was retarded. And I mean he would really have to be retarded to try to take a gun into a courthouse. Unless, the courthouses in ATL are different and they don’t have metal detectors and 5,000 cops inside.
And if he did ALL of this…the cops are negligent as heyull.
I can agree with you there but double pane glass isn’t thick. The force required is pretty high to do this.
???
GET on somewhere!
Or criminal behavior from a criminal who REALLY wasn’t as about that life as his braids and arrest record suggest.
Thank you, I needed somebody to make this topic easier to discuss.
Conviently
What’s for lurch? Bojangles, Chick fil a, Zaxby’s, Chipotle, Chilis, leftovers…
Out of 3 or 4 officers…
If anything, you’re still negligent. He was in your care.
I can’t imagine someone running (with cuffs on past me and 3 or 4 others) with enough speed to hurl themselves through a window.
Couldn’t catch him…trip him…nothing.
I think there’s a food truck downstairs. Let me find my gestie so he can buy lunch for me.
Guess he wrapped the gun up with his legal paperwork in case it got lost and someone could return it to him. Right. That’s it.
Your hashtag; scary, but true (IMO).
Leftovers for me but you know I’ll slap somebody mama for some Popeyes tho ??
Auntie, what say you about this incident?
Maaaaaaaaan.
THIS! Do you know how much force…nevermind.
Have ya seen anyone run in handcuffs? It might as well be an OJ slow bronco chase.
Exactly. This is why it’s unbelievable and unfathomable to me. The whole story is unraveling on this here blog.
Maybe he ran like the divers be diving
Agreed. Window ain’t made to hold a moving body weight.
catered Chick fil a
See…
Gone now. Git. ~Cicely Tyson voice~
Question: how did the paper stay wrApped around the gun.. Without blowing away? Or how long was the paper? Usually it’s one piece paper that says court notice ( or appearance ) time – date -court room number & ur signature ( so I’ve heard! Ahem!) how do you wrap one piece of paper around a gun & expect it to stay?
Things that make you go hmmmm!!!!
I want some chicken… again. I’m going through a phase I guess. Trying to fight the urge to hit Bo for fries and a biscuit.
lol
Enjoy; had some yesterday.
Yes but moving force of any human his size could break that window
Agreed.
Im eating clean so no waffle fires…chick fila without fries? whats the point.
it almost seems like someone conveniently tipped his chair back and he slid out the window. Sad world we live in in that everything that happens around police has to be looked at with a suspicious eye. Maybe he did jump…but whenever the po po involved I have to say hmmm.
Sometimes folks not even cuffed especially if they don’t think you’ll do anything.
I know that’s crazy but I seent it ?
Now. With this cat, I agree, he should’ve been cuffed to something.
Somebody ain’t do their job properly. ??
Well… After a certain someone was talking about people scratching their ti tay (think Dave Chappelle) meat whilst giving out samples…IM GOOD!
Going thru the same phase then cuz the only difference between my craving n yours is I want popcorn shrimp. I want a biscuit and fries tew!!!! Asiddap!!!
Is anyone that stupid that they can’t tell that there is holes in this bullchit story?!! Surely you jest. Come again with facts. Right wrong or indifferent don’t feed me no bullchit.
Guns are heavy. I can see it probably wrapped up like a fish

……………………….
Lucky Bish!
I couldn’t even read all the bullchit in this fake ass story. If he jumped OK well but don’t add no extra chit because it sounds good. ??
lol – I’m having leftovers that I cooked for myself so if I scratched my tatas I think I’m okay.
I mean seriously what are you having? A salad? Don’t even call that chick fil a. No fries…
I’m not against or for anyone, but I can say that I was a deputy sheriff and I’ve seen some inmates do some crazy ish. Ish you wouldn’t even think anyobe would do. No joke and the worst was the women.
It sure is a lot of folks in the world who would rather die than face petty crimes…. Not saying it isn’t true. Just saying something is funny about that…
Cool wrap
I just can’t. I don’t know how folk muster up the energy to fight for one criminal after the next. Chile….
I’ve never seen someone handcuffed in a courthouse or police station that wasn’t handcuffed to something else. Like a bench, bolted desk, etc.
That’s some low-e glass and it’s not fully tempered(baking/soaking time) that’s why it broke like that. Look at the pic. Something hard can go through and the rest stays.
How old is this building? The only thing holding that glass in is sealant on both interior and exterior. Sealant is warranted for 20 yrs only.
If they pushed him out, they’ll get caught IF this isn’t covered up…
??
Miss Harlem, I call this being “Fuhrmaned”. Mr. Mark added all that stuff in the mix and ruined the stew.
I wanted to hit a buffet today but work wouldn’t allow it. I hate buffets but sometimes the feeling hits.
If he did jump and that’s a big if, he probably did cause they was trying to plant a fugging gun on him. I don’t think nobody is THAT dumb to bring a gun to court. Especially when you just got a $1500 bail. They was trying take him down…. IF he did he did it cause 20 years was too long in jail for him
I almost hit ‘vote down’
@Yoni….Good Morning, I hate swai and that’s all that I got! LOL Have a good one. #doubleeww
mmmmmmmmmm
You are correctomundo!
You must not watch The First 48. All you gotta do is look at a nucca wrong and he’ll start confessing.
Innocent until proven guilty. It’s the law. That they made. They need to follow they rules they made. It’s called due process.
I don’t put chit past anyone. My only thing is if he jumped don’t add nathan
lol..I know. I wanted that spicy chicken so bad
Agreed.
Hey you how’s everything? ?
I may be there next month ??????
My brother used to be a correctional officer. They don’t get paid nearly enough to deal with the crazy azz inmates trying to get free. Ninjas pissing and ishing on themselves, jumping off 2nd floors balconies and ish. Stories were crazy. I’ll wait for all details to state an opinion.
I’m having the hardest time wrapping my brain around the gun…. They found it outside? In his car or on his person? Or someone tried to send it to him?
He wasn’t no inmate though…
I get what you saying however…,
I’m good. Over this work day though. Keep me posted. ?
Tell that to the folks in the hood dodging bullets.
4sho ?
Big stuff happening.
Among further investigation…
Tyquan
Richardson, 22, was at a downtown pre-trial intervention for a drug
charge when police found a gun outside the building and traced it back
to him on Tuesday morning.
He was being arrested for the weapon, but escaped the officers around him and crashed through a plate-glass window before landing on the sidewalk below, according to police.
I had to go back and read twice, because in comments….so some of yall think the cops planted the gun? Ok. Listen, so every story about a black person and the cops is going to turn into a “OMG the cops are setting him up, #BlackLivesMatter”? I’m just wondering. Because guess what? SOME of these people are actually guilty. Like the gunman yesterday, if the cops shot him, I would not have cared in the least.
I comprehended that. My point was to the questions as to why the deputies let him run through the glass. Hell they don’t get paid enough for all the crazy ish they deal with daily.
This is what I am saying…people have and will do stuff like this all the time…its called desperation. You can’t call foul on everything…
What kind of glass did the builders use, especially in a high rise. There are standards that glass has to withstand hurricane force and strong pressure so even if getting thrown, or hurling yourself against it won’t break. More information is needed here.
Right and also who expects someone to RUN through a window…ish could have happened too fast.
And some of these dummies are just that damn stupid to show up with a gun to court. We have to reserve judgement until we have all the facts.
Fam been working in rikers island before I was born to the present so I know the stories. However the officer’s are FAR from innocent themselves. All I want is no bullchit straight facts. Hey SW
This
ME TOO! Had it ONCE and it tasted mushy…….like CATFISH! Found out, they cousin’s.
No hurricanes in AtL.
It’s whatever that cities building code requires.
There is a process, you can’t just install flimsy glass on a gov’t building.
And I don’t think glass is meant to take live load from interior like this.
Once that gun came into play it was no longer a petty crime. He was about to do time over that gun.
Hey boo ?
Child…I almost wrote this…if Tyquan was Tom would we be having this outrage?
Try a week.
Exactly. Shid they prob were in shock.
Not in Atlanta boo. Damn tornado came through a couple years ago and tore all the glass in downtown out. We don’t get hurricanes and Shid.
No. They would not of cared in the damn LEAST if Tyquan was a sprite. I’m sorry, but I need to save my outrage for stuff that really needs it. Let some of them tell it, black men should never be arrested because it’s the cops who are forever setting them up. Guess OJ did not do it either. Whatever
I think with the surge in questionable activity people ask more questions. Or instead of innocent until proven guilty it’s guilty until proven otherwise. These are difficult situations.
Ain’t no tipping in that. That’s a grab you by your arms and pant loops and swing.
That glass is NOT thin.
To be honest I wouldn’t care if it was Tom. Tom might have really jumped. White folks kill themselves over way less….
I just don’t see in this particular story…, I could be wrong.
If dude was a convicted felon (I’m talking prior to this petty crime) that gun charge was going to come with prison time. Only felon that ain’t have to do yrs for that was Mr. Harris.
And black folks have not? Come on. Remember that shooter, the damn DC sniper. EVERYONE just KNEW he was a Sprite. Guess again. You can’t put anything past anyone. Black people do dumb shyt as well. Very. Kidnapping kids and all of that. Stuff not just Sprite shyt anymore.
Ask all the questions But don’t assume that is how hysteria happens…You gotta be logical/rational.
This is all I am saying
Right, you proved my point…its not facts nor probability you looked at it was skin color.
Welp
I thought the janitor found the gun…. And traced it back to him…. So somebody could have planted the gun. It’s real fishy. So did he admit it was his or nah.
Bc Apollo is….
And for that, IF you were white, people would be screaming racism. It’s not only about skin color all the damn time.
The AA community has to stop being in denial. Ninjas killing themselves. Depression is real. It ain’t just something you need to pray about.
The article said the paper work had his name on it when questioned he admitted it was his.
Going to an all-you-can-eat sushi spot on Fridy and an Indian (veggie) buffet on Satydee. #periodcomin
A true D boy is not running around with a 2 shooter or a puny that can be tucked in some DD’s. That 8 1/2 x 11 didn’t cover all of that.
I know this type weather is infrequent in ATL but still, some kind of code has to apply to those buildings. That glass seems flimsy for a high rise.
Girl you know talking sense in not allowed in here.
That’s why I find it hard to believe he admitted it was his. Im not denying it was his. But how it was found is very suspicious….
Couldn’t have been a kingpin or dope boy. Only got simple possession didn’t even say with the intent to sale. Based on bond it was small.
You think everything involving a black man and the police is suspicious.
I take the things people say with a some calming salt. Kind of like the blog write-ups. I guess I have blinders on when it comes to hysteria since that’s the usual.
This story seems strange, but I won’t rush to say the cops did it. There was a shoot out here where a guy I went to school with was being pulled over. He didn’t stop but was killed on the scene after a shoot out with the popo. It was jus so crazy bc honestly he should’ve jus stopped, he only had weed on him & a gun. With over crowding the fool would’ve been out of jail in a couple days, plus he had never been in any real trouble .he was a local rapper,he just started to believe his own hype.
I have to agree with @Just_Keya:disqus downthread. This is probably the only problem I have getting behind some causes. You will always have that one fool who blatantly breaks the law, and because they’re black, expect the world to feel sorry for them or make them a hashtag. And then everyone just jumps on the bandwagon without all the facts (see above story) Now, I do know there are some crooked MFers out there, especially in law enforcement. I’ve been singled out for not doing shyt A PLENTY of times. But sometimes you have to look at the whole story and let some of these muggs take accountability.
Disclaimer: Nobody deserves to die over a turn signal, punk a$$ gun charge, or after they have clearly surrendered. But also STAY WOKE to some of the bullshyt that people bring on themselves.
And yes, I still believe #BlackLivesMatter
AA dont go around shooting ppl on live TV or mass murdering folks on CC campus’ either but we see THAT is a lie
*claps* Thank you
Chiiiiile…(Drake voice) now ya talkin my language, now ya talkin my language!!!
Nah. You can’t take a gun in court. They do have metal detectors.
I just said this same shyt!!!!!
That don’t make no sense to me. I think the police lying. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Somebody turned that gun in or they got it illegally. I ain’t falling for the okie doke
I know the feeling.
I guess hun
Cool. I like to wait to all the facts are out. We’ve marched and protested for ninjas and get autopsies reports and videos and feel like dummies.
You damn skippy I do. Give me a reason not to. They set muthafuggas up everyday just make a quota. Folks lives ruined for a damn bonus. Fuk the police.
You wont believe otherwise anyway Chits…You kinda only run off of feeling and not facts..
*in my sing song voice* You are wasting your breath.
Sawry!!!
People try all the time and it was found outside.
Fist pump
this is their side of the story. and we all know how that works.
The gun wasn’t found outside?…allegedly. Iono. This is just sad.
Not true. The fact is police set folk up everyday. Sandra Bland hung herself until the hype died down, then we find out that was a lie. The media don’t report facts no more, they report what they want us to know. We gotta use other shyt to get the real story.
Can we get a #newpost? I see some disagreements downstairs.
I never feel like a dummy. I don’t trust police and most white folk. Period
Where you want this offering sent? Like I just said we get outraged and quick to judgement then get facts like autopsy reports and Shid that contradicts “my baby ain’t never done nothing. He was a good boy”
I will tell you like this. It WAS a BLACK man running around my broher’s college campus yesterday. Now tell me how the police set his ass up? Or it was not him? Or they had it wrong? Because HAD that BLACK man shot my brother or other students, and killed them, YOU would NOT be able to say shyt. AND if the police would of saw a gun on him and shot his ass, I would NOT be trying to hear that Black Lives Matter BS on that one. STOP pretending that BLACK men don’t commit crimes. BECAUSE they DO! So what are they NEVER supposed to have any accountability? I guess as far as your concerned OJ did not kill those two people either? The DC sniper was set up. The BLACK family who kidnapped the little girl out of a damn school up here, raped her and dropped her off half naked in the damn winter time, in the park, was set up as well right? TI never had guns, the police set him up to correct? Tuh
I, personally would question it for the simple fact of how a lot of cops treat people that they feel are beneath them or people that they feel are criminals, regardless of race. It’s just that when it involves us, our people get the worst type of treatment. It’s sickening either way. I’ve witnessed this type of chit first-hand. I’ve gone to visit close family members in jail and prison, and the way that some of the COs talk to the family members as well as the inmates is fuggin ridiculous. There are cops that automatically peg someone as guilty simply because they were arrested for something.
True story, and I may be putting a little too much of my business out there. Cousin was arrested due to an outstanding traffic warrant from *insert drumroll* the year 2000. Cousin was arrested due to the warrant, during a traffic stop. I went to police station to pay it, and an ignorant azz cop says, “If it was me, I would leave her azz in there.” Pissed me the fugg off. First, WTF asked you. Second, mind your fuggin business and gimme my receipt.
And the momma KNOW good and well her baby was selling damn drugs!!!!! Man please.
??????????????
All court buildings should have cameras..but something went wrong with their system so no footage..5.4.3.2….
You should.
In my hometown, this chick and some of her friends were at the store smelling like they just burned a pound of loud. Guess who was right behind her in line, the fukking cops. So after smelling that, he followed them outside and asked them had they been smoking or what have you. Ol girl breaks out into a sprint to her car rummaging around for something. He grabs her, she fights back continuously, so he had her on the ground putting handcuffs on her. All you can hear in the background of the video (yes this dumb shyt was caught on film) is: she a woman, she ain’t do nothing, he shouldn’t grab her.
Hell she smell like she high and runs from the cops to her car looking for something. WTF you expect the cop to do?
And yes she ended up having about an ounce of weed and a fukking GUN!
Breaking in folks houses stealing Shid.
But let people like Chits tell you this same exact story, she would say the cops planted all of that shyt. Man come on. Dumb shyt. And she deserve to be arrested and put on the ground. STOP trying to fight the damn cops when YOU are doing the wrong shyt.
Having damn shoot outs in the damn street. Man please.
Questioning I have NO problem with that, its just to say they lying and make a #tag to starting another cops are the devils movement.
But you don’t wait for facts anyway hun.
It’s fuk the police until one save your azz or arrest a ninja for breaking into your shid
Yes it was found outside wrapped in his court papers…he probably dropped it…and he said it was his.
If it smells like boolsheet, but you telling me it’s roses, I’m questioning the fugg outta that chit.
Her and I already went through that. Said she would not call the cops if her home was broken into. I told her I guess your not calling the insurance people either, because they gonna tell you FOH without a POLICE REPORT. Tuh
All the damn gang bangers kill each other and innocent kids in all these damn cities and you hollering fuk the police. Didn’t they find water on Mars since you hate everyone and every race but black and you hate some of them too. Book a flight.
I seen a child get tackled in a bikini but no officer thought it prudent to tackle the alleged escaping suspect?
K!
ALL of this!!!
^^^THIS
It’s not impossible ….I know someone personally who was handcuffed broke out police custody ran to the pier and jumped in the river…sad thing is he couldn’t swim and drowned….trust crazy things like this happens….soo sad
Yes, we will question the cops considering the history of the police department dating back to slavery. I will never give them the benefit of the doubt. It’s guilty until proven innocent in my eyes.
Damn, the worst death video I ever watched was a suicide jump off tall building. Selfish.
Racism is never logical or rational. Black people cannot afford to be ignorant. In light of what’s been happening over the years…shot since we got here, Blacks have been systematically attacked by European devils. For us to assume the worse about our own is clearly White supremacy at work. I’m not saying we are all innocent of committing crimes, but I will never give a cracker the benefit of the doubt.
No it’s not about skin color all the damn time, but most of the time it is. Look at the history of the police and why they were even put into place.
I wish I was here for this post…I work in an institution folks off themselves on a semi-regular basis, folks who haven’t even been sentenced yet…
I’m wondering if he was trying to escape? Maybe he thought he could make the drop?
Here we go again with the dumb conspiracy theories. Wish people would stop trying to spin stuff into something it’s not.
I’m not saying that he did or did not kill himself but what irritates me more than anything is when someone says any of the following: 1) “Cops risk their lives everyday.”; 2) “Cops (or any other law enforcement official) don’t get paid enough”; and 3) “You have no idea how difficult it is dealing with crazy/rude/disrespectful/disgusting/angry/irrrational people every day”. What the heck does any of the above have to do with anything? Last time I checked, we were not living in 1984 (the book) or The Giver (book); every person has the right to choose their own career. If you are unable to maintain a level of professionalism and fulfill your occupational duties then you should NOT choose that profession. Period.
Doctors are under incredible amounts of stress and pressure daily. But, let one of them leave a scalpel in your chest or cut off the wrong appendage and you will want them to pay. Let a teacher spazz out in class and punch your child in the face because they deal with disrespectful uncouth abusive kids every day and I bet you would want that teacher to be fired. There is a standard, if they can’t meet that standard they need to be fired and/or prosecuted.
“Once in custody, handcuffed, and seated, the individual arose and ran headfirst into an exterior window, crashing through it and falling approximately 40 feet to the sidewalk on Walton Street,”…………
The officers probably had their backs turned to him, or weren’t paying him attention. He was obviously only a few feet from the window, so if they didn’t immediately react, there would’ve been no stopping him.
Why is it odd for a handcuffed man to jump out a window if he wants to commit suicide? You can’t apply rational thought to a man who is serious about – and actually committing – suicide.
………………
That’s the point. How convenient that the janitor just happened to find the handgun in Richardson’s court papers outside the building. What idiot would wrap a handgun in his own court papers and toss the gun outside when he could have left it in his car?
So you assume he jumped?
That glass looks pretty thick. Needs a lot of force to get through that.
It sounds like the gun was planted. If Tyquan was in court shouldn’t he have his papers with him?
So?
Tyquan was thrown bodily through the window.
A few feet isn’t enough distance. You need a running start of at least 10-12 feet to break through tempered glass.
Sounds planted to me. Wrapped in papers that identify him? Fishy as hell
I think it’s possible that he jumped.
I feel some kind of way about that gun story. The why would he do that and in that manner type of way…
But isn’t the average weapons charge like 3.5-5 years? Maybe I meant petite instead of petty. Kill yourself for less than a dime? Just doesn’t make sense to me.
Am I supposed to care about the lives of criminals? let’s be real
Case closed- in my Fred G. Sanford period voice
I was at our county courthouse earlier this week for some legal bs that a friend of mine was dealing with. The type of foolishness that goes on there baffled me. After my experience this story seems VERY believable. I watched this man coming out of the courthouse, pulled out a blunt on the steps with policemen, lawyers etc all around and walked off. I shook my head and said idiot.
I also witnessed a black lady standing in the hall screaming stop hitting me although no one was around. This man walked by
with a cane and she yelled why you just hit me in the back with your stick. The man looked at her crazy and hurried off. I also witnessed a group of people threaten and tried to jump on this lady in front of bailiffs. If you’ve never been inside a courthouse I recommend you go on their busiest day, it was entertaining yet sad at the same time.
I was thinking something along these lines myself……being handcuffed he had no way to balance or brace himself. At 40 feet though I don’t know if anything could help….
It’s like robbing a store that you just filled out an application in.
Hopefully there are cameras in the building….. Why couldn’t anyone grab him I wonder…. And it seems like a lot of momentum and adrenaline would be needed to run and then crash through.
True but maybe he rode the bus or caught a cab and had to stash it? The look on the cop or whoever it was face though looks suspicious …. Like a major mistake was made. Like unnecessary roughness .
Well now Sandra you got me on that one. Most people would have their paperwork with them! And it does seem like a convienent set of circumstances….
I hear you, but the sole reason why “theories” even exist is because of truths untold later to be told.
Condolences to the family and I hope they get the right answers
I heard of something similar.
Like you said, you need more facts. “Usually” when a person says their not going back to jail, they don’t intend on going back to jail. Meaning I’d rather die than go back to jail. With that being said, why do you think that he would think he could survive the fall while still being handcuffed, (let’s not forget) and get up and go where while still being handcuffed??….And cops plant evidence on people everyday, what makes you think they didn’t do this? Oh because they said he admitted to it really can’t be your answer. Really??
Eactly, so why do you think ( given his mental state is unknown) that he thought he could survive the jump while being handcuffed and go where like the person you co-signed?
Dame Dash? Whoot.
Even so if he rode the bus, he didn’t wrap the gun in his own paperwork. This part of the story is fabricated. Normally if you’re wrapping a gun, it’ll be in a plastic bag, not paper.
WTF?……………..
If his mental state was compromised it’s possible that he thought he could survive the fall. IF he did jump, it’s obvious that he wasn’t thinking rationally. So it’s also possible that he didn’t think about his escape beyond jumping out the window nor the direct affect of jumping out of the window (like death). We can make a rational assessment and say that even if I survived the fall, I would still fail to make a successful getaway because I’m handcuffed. But someone at the end of their rope and possibly mentally incompetent at the time wouldn’t think in a rational manner.
run the tape back!
Let me guess….the tapes already been overwritten, or the footage wasn’t caught on tape.
Are you the product of a common core education? “If’ is a term used in the English language to denote that everything following the statement is conditional, it also denotes uncertainty. Thus, the point of my statement was to say that “if” (everything following this is conditioned upon the supposition that he jumped BUT this does not mean that it is a fact that he jumped) jump from the window, then maybe he did not intend to kill himself, instead he thought that he would be able to walk away from the fall. Moreover, I further stated that “if” he did indeed think he could survive then he may have been slow. Like you. The factual probability of his survival and his perceived probability of survival are not synonymous. At no point did I say that the cops did NOT plant evidence on him or push him out of the window. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, my very sentence would indicate that I did not take the story at face value. So please do me a favor and take your righteous indignation and lack of contextual literacy somewhere…anywhere…else.
Working and struggling to work out….that’s all I do now…le sigh
….how are you beau???….
Illegal drugs? Illegal possession of a weapon? Sounds like a real upstanding citizen.
I refuse!…
Too late
*snorts*
BOL
Hmmm, so many questions with no answers…How did he even have a gun on him? I would think after what happened with Brian Nichols officials would be extremely cautious and check all persons that are entering/exiting the courthouse. Also, he was able to smash through the window in one attempt?
I completely agree with your sentiments, it’s all about self control/professionalism, no matter the profession. Additionally, cops are trained to de-escalate various situations that an officer may run into on the streets. Although it’s an extremely difficult/challenging job, there is no excuse for unneccessary aggressive behavior towards citizens.
***Generally speaking of course, as far as this incident, I’m not really sure what happened…..
Go away for real! Damn Zebra !
…..And a possible manufactured story. Everything published isn’t always accurate.
This does seem fishy but this man had no business in jail so if he had a bad experience, maybe…
If I’m a zebra, which animal are you?
Something abut this is just not right. Prayers to his family, and friends. Rest in Peace.
I’m with you. This makes no sense. When the janitor “found” the gun, did he get on the intercom and page the owner? What kind of paperwork was the gun wrapped in? Where exactly did the janitor “find” the gun? Was his pre-trial intervention hearing over when he decided to hurl himself through a closed window. If he wasn’t an inmate, why was he handcuffed?
So many questions…
A bay leaf? Elizabeth, I’m coming to join you honey!!
AND they processed him without his paper work.
Maybe it was wrapped like a burrito?
Well damn
All is well, same as. The struggle. Chile. Need a tropical vacation.
If it’s a small caliber handgun ( maybe) if it a nine semi glock… I’m not incline to believe it… I’m just saying!
Htgawwm hurry up & scandal looks as if it will be good this week too
if you got to type that much your the fool
*have…*you’re.
Bless your heart.
yassss please……my doc won’t let me and my love for wine be great….the struggle….I have no time
Shaun T gets all my free time bc by time I finish the darn session I gotta spend 76540758249 minutes dragging myself from the floor to the shower and then eat dinner then I pass out…#struggle
But, 45 days from now I will be banging…. #Yasssssss
Man just because you’re a dumb criminal, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve justice. #whobringsahandguntocourt #wrappedinpaperswithyourname #dummies
What was he handcuffed to that allowed him moving room to jump out of the window?
Get it Get it Get it!!!Whoowhoop
Brother: “He’s a good-hearted person. He had plans. He wanted to get out of the hood. He was not suicidal.”
Fo’ true?
Then your bro made 2 mistakes: He forgot what floor he was on, and didn’t have a clue that if there’s no red “Exit” sign over the exit, it’s NOT an exit.
Life if tough. Life is tougher if you’re stupid.
Yea that’s crazy. All of those cops should be fired…
