Al Sharpton’s Ex-Wife & Daughter Arrested

From NYDailyNews.com:
The Rev. Al Sharpton lashed out Sunday at the “unfair” treatment of his daughter and ex-wife by cops who arrested the duo for arguing over a traffic ticket in Harlem.
“I cannot imagine how two unarmed women with no record, could be taken in cuffs from a traffic dispute with NO personal or property damage involved,” Sharpton wrote in a string of angry postings on Twitter. “Well this is what we deal with everyday. We will never accept unfairness.”
Sharpton’s oldest daughter, Dominique Sharpton, 23, and ex-wife, Kathy Jordan, 53, were arrested Friday when they got into a heated verbal tussle with cops during a traffic stop, police said.
Dominique Sharpton sped past a police car on Eighth Ave. at 110th St. and blasted through a red light before cops nabbed her, sources said.
She called her mom, who rushed to the scene to find Dominique in the back of a police car, Sharpton’s attorney said.
Cops charged both with disorderly conduct and obstruction of governmental administration, issued them desk appearance tickets and let them go.
“Kathy showed the concern any mother would show,” Sharpton wrote.
Sharpton wrote there were “no drugs or drinking at all” – making their treatment all the more worse. Sharpton lawyer Michael Hardycalled the arrest “excessive” and said the police car Dominique drove around was unmarked.
“It seems they were arrested simply because they asked why the ticket was being given,” said Hardy.
Police declined comment yesterday.

« Previous 1 2No wonder he’s always out somewhere protesting. I can see why he wouldn’t wanna be home.
Who is that drag besides him?wow The daughter should have not sped off like that so yes she is also @ fault.AL needs to not give himself a heart attack.it is always more convenient to speak when necessary and not always pull out the race cards in every scenario.but i still give him two thumbs up for making an impact in the world…at least one brotha is…
Its better to not argue with NYPD. She sped through a red light in front of cops and a ticket had to be issued. She was wrong and shouldnt have argued with them because they could lock you up and pin all kinds of charges on you. It just not worth it to argue with them.
