Definite bias
The story was told with definite bias against the Texas Rangers. The Rangers obviously have been guilty of wrong over the years. Especially, many years ago. However, there was no acknowledgement of others’ wrong doing. Past or present. The point told where a Mexican American gate keeper allowed Mexican bandits through gates out of fear for his life was glossed over. The focus was towards the Rangers’ massacre. The gate keeper was evidently more scared of Mexican bandits than Texas Rangers. That part of the story was overlooked. A typical defund the police type narrative. A disbelief that police of any sort help protect citizens from wrong doers. Every group of people has a percent of wrong doers. Every race, ethnicity, vocation, sex, etc. has evil people in their midst. The reference to rubbing the wound of 1915 being necessary to provide a moral compass today is hollow. There was no acknowledgement of raiders causing a situation in need of forces greater than citizens. Holding people today accountable for what happened 100 years is unfounded. I get acknowledgement, but not without telling the full stories. The narrator is a good storyteller. I just wish he would have told both sides. There has been much benefit realized by having the Texas Rangers.

More reviews of White Hats
To those who say this reporting is one side obviously didn’t listen to episode 5. It’s so well researched. Definitely not one sided. Texas monthly never disappoints!

A great podcast if you love bashing law enforcement and want to change Texas history to fit their feelings.

I found it really well told and the reporter/historian seems to have been open to speak with people who are uncomfortable with the underlying truthful story. Well done!
