Al Sharpton were in a Manhattan courtroom Monday where prosecutors charge the mother-daughter duo launched an obscenity-filled rant against a cop during a Harlem traffic stop. Dominique Sharpton, 23 and the civil rights activist's former wife, Kathy Jordan, appeared before a judge to answer charges stemming from an Oct. 30 traffic stop. Sharpton is accused of cutting off a copy by crossing a double line and running a red light after 7 p.m. at W. 110th St. and Eight Ave. "Why the f--- are you locking her up?" Jordan...
