Police: Sharpton daughter ranted about being late

By JENNIFER PELTZ - Associated Press Writer - 11/30/2009 4:50:00

PMNEW YORK - The Rev. Al Sharpton's daughter told a police officer in a profanity-laden rant that she cut him off in traffic because she was in a rush to get to a theater, prosecutors said Monday.

"You were driving too slow. I have a play to go to," Dominique Sharpton told an officer who pulled her over Oct. 30, prosecutors told a Manhattan judge.

Dominique Sharpton and the civil rights activist's ex-wife, Kathy, face charges including resisting arrest after the Harlem traffic stop.

Defense lawyer Michael Hardy said the women simply exercised their free-speech rights to complain.

Police said Dominique Sharpton veered out of her lane, ran a red light and forced another car to swerve out of her way. After being ticketed, she and her mother cursed at the officers, ignored orders to return to their cars and resisted being handcuffed, according to a criminal complaint. Kathy Sharpton pushed an officer with her hands, police said in the complaint.

Hardy said he would ask the court to dismiss the charges, all misdemeanors or violations, calling them "frivolous" and saying there were no grounds for the arrest.

"Since when did a verbal objection become criminal in America?" Hardy said.

The top charges are punishable by up to a year in jail.

Dominique Sharpton, 23, and her 53-year-old mother didn't enter a plea Monday. They declined to comment afterward, as did a spokeswoman for Al Sharpton. He didn't attend.



He railed about the arrest on Twitter on Nov. 1, questioning "how two unarmed women with no record could be taken in cuffs from a traffic dispute with NO personal or property damage involved," nor any allegations of drug use or drinking.

Clearly, they were profiled. March through the streets of Manhattan scheduled for tomorrow.

I read recently that you do have the "right" to cuss out an officer.

I think they'll get off.

Being the ***** daughter of a phony "Reverend" should be a crime in itself.

But if the cops cuss at the people they're ticketing it's a civil rights violation, harrassment and abuse of authority. It's my experience that if you insult a cop you'll pay a price, why should the Shapton ladies expect anything else? Are they special?

Oh they pay. They never get that time back, and still have to endure the hassle of all of this.

As publicity whores, the price is pretty cheap for the benefit that they gain, don't you think?

Maybe they should also smear themselves with feces and claim rape.

I had a buddy get arrested for cursing in public. Lewd behavior or something like that, AKA dick police officer. He should have gotten a "Hey! There are kids around!", but the arrest probably smacked some sense into him.

While you can say what you want, you can't disobey police officers' orders without having some consequence.

Let's see what happens if the Sharptons curse at the judge.

Unless you have a video camera..you are correct. They have the guns and the monopoly on the use of force. The video camera is the only weapon that a person has at their disposal today to make THEM be the obedient ones.
