World Leader in Test Prep and Admissions KAPLAN 1 -800-KAP-TEST kaptest.com STATE THE BATTALION Church leaders support ousted Dallas police duel DALLAS (AP) — Several predominantly black churches in the Dallas area threw their sup port behind fired police chief Terrell Bolton over the weekend, and vowed to support the city’s first black police chief. The Rev. Sheron Patterson led a congregation of about 2(X) in prayer for Bolton at St. Paul United Methodist Church. “We have plans to keep pushing for justice,” Patterson said. “We spoke up and said, ’We’re not having this mess.’ “ City Manager Ted Benavides abruptly fired Bolton last week, saying he was dissatisfied with his performance. Under Bolton’s watch, the police department faced a fake drug scan dal, lawsuits by demoted command ers and conflict over hiring practices. The decision touched off a wave of criticism and protests within the city’s black community, many of whom blame Mayor Laura Miller for instigating Bolton’s dismissal a “Dallas is a racist city and what are we going to do about it?” said Rev. Stephen Nash, as about 150 congregants passionately clapped and shouted. “What Terrell Bolton is facing is not a solo thing. We want to send a signal to this city that we’re not going to take it anymore." Nash urged the congregation to attend a downtown rally and march scheduled for Wednesday, the Dallas Morning News reported in its Monday editions. Bolton himself took to the pulpit at the! 1 Bird-area church where he is a deacon to de his own pointed message. "I didn’t bow dow n.

Residency visas aren’t sufficient. In addition to the citizen cap tain requirement, the law states that at least 75 percent of the crew must be citizens as well. For the small crew of a shrimp boat, having just one non- American on board is a violation. Boat owner Charles Burnell estimates that 20 percent of shrimp boats head into the Gulf of Mexico with foreign crews. Often, boat owners hire an inexperienced American just to have one aboard. “You can’t find any cap tains,’’ said veteran shrimper Jimmy Russell, 79. “Now, we put a captain on a boat that three years ago wouldn't have made a good rigman.” Ironically, the law dives not require shrimp captains to have licenses, and no crew member is required to carry identification papers, said Mike White, com mercial fishing vessel coordinator with the EffJ Coast Guard District. ‘They ask the master if ri is a U.S. citizen, but thereM, requirement to produce da; ments that prove you areal citizen,” he said. However, if a crew meiR doesn’t speak English, Whiter inspectors ask for paperwott “If a guy says he’s tteci tain, we believe that hes lit captain unless we havertaswu believe he is not the captain,' ^ said.
