Eric Garners daughter on Al Sharpton: Hes all about the money

Al Sharpton is all about the Benjamins, a daughter of police chokehold victim Eric Garner claims in a bombshell videotape.

Erica Snipes tees off on the reverend as interested primarily in money during a conversation secretly recorded by controversial conservative activist James OKeefes group, Project Veritas.

One of OKeefes investigators with a hidden camera posed as a Garner supporter during a protest last month at the St. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island.

You think Al Sharpton is kind of like a crook in a sense? the investigator is heard asking Garners oldest daughter.

Hes about this, Snipes replies, rubbing her fingers together.

Hes about money with you? the undercover asks.

Yeah, Snipes responds.

Snipes, 24, also complained that the Staten Island director of Sharptons National Action Network, Cynthia Davis, scolded her for handing out street fliers about her fathers case that did not include NANs logo.

She started attacking me. Oh, I see that you got this flier out, how come you didnt add the logo? Snipes said.

Sharpton paid to keep quiet about lack of black TV programming: suit

The Rev. Al Sharptons silence was bought for a cool $3.8million so that he wouldnt complain about the lack of black cable TV programming, an explosive $20billion lawsuit alleges.

The National Association of African-American Owned Media claims Comcast paid Sharpton and his National Action Network cash donations in exchange for not screaming about its lack of solely black-owned channels.

The cable giant also assured that the activist would keep his $750,000-a-year gig as a host on MSNBC, which it co-owns, even as his ratings slump, the suit alleges.

The black community has been sold out by him, comedian Byron Allen, a co-plaintiff and owner of Entertainment Studios, told The Post on Monday.

Al Sharpton should be ashamed of himself for defending Comcast for a simple chicken-dinner payoff.

The lawsuit decrying the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner said that Comcast carries just one completely black-owned channel, The Africa Channel, and that Time Warner barely fares better.

But instead of Sharptons NAN and other activist groups such as the NAACP and National Urban League protesting the inequity, they and Comcast signed voluntary diversity agreements that whitewash the companys racist practices, the suit claims.

After the pacts were signed, Comcast shelled out $140,000 to NAN, $835,000 to the National Urban League and $30,000 to the NAACP, according to the suit.

The groups allegations of payouts also factor in Sharptons TV salary, which he has been receiving since starting to host MSNBCs PoliticsNation in 2011, the suit says.

Sharpton blasted the suit as frivolous at best. The activist concedes his group has gotten some donations from Comcast, but said, Its nowhere near $1 million.

Lundy trial: Police footage shown

Police footage of the violent crime scene where two members of the Lundy family were murdered depicted a normal family home with toys outside, a sock hanging from the clothesline and knick-knacks on the living room wall.

The Crown used the footage to show the lengths gone to by police to not contaminate the scene as they examined the Palmerston North house on August 30, 2000.

Mark Lundy, on trial in the High Court at Wellington, has denied murdering his wife and daughter in the early hours of that day.

He bowed his head and tightly squeezed his eyes closed as the jury was shown pixelated footage, taken on the afternoon of August 30, which showed the bodies of Christine Lundy, 38, and 7-year-old Amber.

Stepping plates were shown on the floors of the home.

Police photographer and senior crime officer David Andrews told the court that when he walked through the Karamea Cres house to film the footage he wore loose police overalls, gloves and booties.

He said he took care to only stand on the plates as he moved through the scene.

"I took care not to brush against the walls or anything."

During the crime scene investigation, Mr Andrews lifted a fingerprint that was on a swing set in the couple's conservatory.

Defence lawyer David Hislop suggested to Mr Andrews that the fingerprint had never been identified, but Mr Andrews could not remember if that was the case.
