BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Al Sharpton’s eldest child wants $5 million from city taxpayers after she fell in the street and sprained her ankle, court rec­ords show. Dominique Sharpton, 28, says she was “severely injured, bruised and wounded” when she stumbled over uneven pavement at the corner of Broome Street and Broadway downtown last year, according to a lawsuit. She said in her lawsuit that “the pavement was laid in a way to specifically trip and injure black people. These subtle booby traps were created to insure that ‘we’ won’t be able to keep up with the white people, so we can fall and they can easily walk all over us.” After reading what she wrote in the court documents, Al was moved to tears and pridefully said, “She finally gets it.”
