Black members of the council also criticized Mr. Benavides for firing Chief Bolton and asked for an explanation about why the chief was fired.

"What's the crime rate in your black neighborhood doing?" should be his answer.

The surpressed story was that Lipscomb, while a Dallas city counsilman, took cash from some nudie bars for keeping the authorities from monitoring them too much. Bolton, then a lower rank, would sit in with Al to add substance to the agreement. Bolton was Al's boy and appointment.

The other Dallas black thug is Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price ("If you want to bribe a county commissioner, be sure you consider price") fits in there somewhere. While the usual black racists are thumping the tub, Al and Price have been strangely quiet. They are usually knee jerk blacks who jump to the loud defense of ANY black under attack no matter what the facts. Their silence so far leads me to believe that the Mayor has got some real goods on Bolton.

By the way, if you watch Bolton on TV you'll swear that he is related to Gary Coleman, one of the leading candidates for the California governor's vacancy.
