Why the talk about Texas Rangers have residence and a place in a conversation were having now nationally about Police Brutality and approaches to history and all this taking down of the confederate monuments. The rangers have a place in that too. Will try to toggle to vintage photos. This is the first time i have done this. F i m
Scotland yard, canadian police, the fbi, that sort of thing. They have been around longer than any state Law Enforcement organization in the United States. And they have this worldwide image. That is what i am going to explore a little bit tonight. How they got this image, what this image is, but i think we all have some idea of what a texas ranger is. Maybe from tvs and movies, if nothing else. That was my first exposure to the rangers. Growing up in florida, i watched this disney show called texas john slaughter. Some of you may have seen that.

Percentage of them but they do exist who feel at though their identity is under a certain sense of crisis and who are looking to these groups who are expressing their grievances sometimes in horrifically violent way.
