A statue of a Texas Ranger will be removed from Dallas Love Field, city officials confirmed.
The statue, called Texas Ranger of 1960, was donated to the city in 1963, according to a spokesperson.
Texas Ranger Capt. Jay Banks was the model for the statue. He was a Ranger with Company B in Dallas, according to a listing for the statue on the Love Field website.

The decision to remove the statue was prompted by the release of an excerpt of an unreleased book, the city spokesperson said.
The city did not have a date for when the statue would be removed. Officials said they were trying to figure out logistics for the removal.
At the time the statue was donated, city officials said, there was no policy in place to review public art donations.
It will "be relocated to storage until a broader community dialogue about its display in a prominent location can take place," spokesperson Chris Perry said in a written statement.

All because of one passage in a yet unreleased book. Madness.

Chuck Norris has never bought a bag of chips with a broken one in it.

So what is it?

So what is it?

Never have said. Interesting.

 

[Masterchief117]

Yeah, what's the excerpt? Interesting that the book is unreleased but action is being taken.

Exactly.

 

[steve graham]

Interesting that the excerpt from the book is not revealed. Is this to destroy the respect of the Texas Rangers? Of course.

 

[night driver]

The title of the statue is "One Riot, One Ranger"

Wonder what the Karens don't like about Jay's story.

This is probably the book that is being mentioned. Texas Monthly did an article on the book in their June 2020 issue

Cult of Glory: The Bold and Brutal History of the Texas Rangers (Viking, June 9) written by Doug Swanson. In the book, it is brought to light that then Ranger Banks, acting on direct order of the Governor, blocked school integration in Mansfield, Texas about 1956.

Not the statue per se, the model - Capt. Jay Banks.

And the bag made it by weight not volume. No air baby.

How a different generation dealt with Karens. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara working out some marital problems. Totally Politically Incorrect but just thought this belonged here.

Fair use.

I think America should only have public statues of butterflies and pandas......oh....and unicorns.

Because they weren't transgender, gay, black, muslim, lesbian, non-binary individual

With skittles coming out of it's butt

 

[texkat72]

Ohfergoshsakes! This is getting ridiculous. Are we gonna be forced to build a giant museum/park to house all the statues and memorabilia that is soooo offensive to the snowflakes? Somewhere normal people can go to enjoy our history?

 

[Jaybird]

Texas Rangers in the beginning were hard men. They had to be. Politically correct? Probably the farthest thing from it. It's sad to see history being erased.

 

[night driver]

He was enforcing the law AS IT STOOD AT THE TIME, at the specific order of the Governor of Texas.

That kind of strength should be CELEBRATED, not denigrated.

 

[Old Gray Mare]

The statue can't defend it's self and the manpower is needed elsewhere at the moment. I can understand them getting it out of harm's way for the time being. Hopefully this stupidity will pass soon.

 

[Signwatcher]

Me thinks the Karen's are pulling the statues down in order to put up Karen statues.

Masculinity.

Reminds me of China's "cultural revolution."

NO - you can not channel NoMoreLibs. NML is like Bumblepuff. Commentary of a satiric kind.

Um. I was thinking more like statues of fruits and vegetables. Johnny Mathis and Joe Biden.

Fair enough, but I'd rather TPTB put hidden cameras and booby traps in to protect it.

People have no idea of history. So they do not understand such things.

That as a kid I could go to the store and buy cigs / ammo etc just amazes people. They do not understand how we did not all end up dead. Worse why people were not in jail for such things.

My mother was driving a Packard at age 12.

Life is not what it was. That is for sure.

Texas Ranger Statue at Love Field Removed Over Concerns About Racist History

The iconic statue of a Texas Ranger, a fixture at Dallas Love Field since 1963, was hauled away from the airport Thursday morning by a crew from the City of Dallas.

The iconic statue of a Texas Ranger, a fixture at Dallas Love Field since 1963, was hauled away from the airport Thursday morning by a crew from the City of Dallas. The decision was prompted by an excerpt from a soon-to-be-published book about the law enforcement agency’s nearly 200-year history, which includes episodes of police brutality and racism.
Apparently, the article raised concerns among city officials because of its depictions of police brutality and racism by the Rangers during their history.
