Al Sharpton Is Mad at Cops Who Arrested His Daughter, Ex-Wife

Al Sharpton's oldest daughter and his ex-wife were treated "unfairly" by police who arrested the duo in Harlem on Friday, according to the good Reverend's Twitter. Dominique, Sharpton's 23-year-old daughter, and Kathy Jordan, his "best friend and top supporter," got into it with cops after Dominique was pulled over for running a red light. Both were charged with disorderly conduct and obstruction of governmental administration.

"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 angrily Tweeted. "Well this is what we deal with everyday. We will never accept unfairness."

Where Sharpton takes this from here is anyone's guess, but if the comments on the Daily News story are any indication, it's going to get ugly.
