The rangers doug the rangers are one of the most famous lawenforcement organizations in the world. I would put them up with 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. 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. The theme song was texas john slaughter, made them do what they outta, because if they didnt they would die. The lone ranger may be the most most cinematic most famous of the cinematic, tv, and radio rangers that started in 1933. Out of wxyz in detroit. The script was originally called man hunter. But then they changed it to

Precinct yes, that is the same as the c. H. O. P. Protest precinct. At least two people were arrested, a dozen Police Officers were injured, one of them hospitalized. And in portland there have now been 53 straight nights of demonstrations and riots downtown. Federal officers once again had to use tear gas and force to break up the lawless mob of antifa and black lives matter rioters. President trump today vowed to send more federal officers, more federal agents to deal with the unrest and violence in the pacific northwest. Were sending Law Enforcement. Portland is totally out of control. They were ripping down for 51 days ripping down that city, destroying the city, looting it. And they really have done a fantastic job in a very short period of time. No problem. They grab em, a lot of people in jail. These are anarchists, these are not protesters.

Again, what is occurring in portland in the early hours of every morning is not peaceful protesting. These individuals are organized and th
