It took nearly four years, but de Blasio administration lawyers finally threw in the towel in the case.

“After a thorough evaluation, we determined that settling this case was in the best interest of the city,” said a spokesman for the city Law Department.

Considering what riots led by Al would have cost, that is cheap.

I got eight broken ribs and a commuted clavicle with a distinctly sharply sloping right shoulder, and didn’t get that much....

But then, perhaps I do not whine as much as others.

In other words, they got the Sharpton shakedown.

de Blasio should not have given in. Instead, he should have resisted. And he should have issued a statement saying so. Maybe something like this:

Resist we much… we must… and we will much… about… that… be committed.

There are millions of individuals with a certain family resemblance to sharpton who rake in millions by slipping and falling and suing. It supplements the meager benefits of free housing, food stamps, obammyphone, and free tuition.

Obviously she wasn’t a Rhinestone Cowboy who knew every crack in the dirty sidewalks of Broadway. She did fit the description part though where hustle is the name of the game.
