Operating in remote rural areas, officers and vigilantes knew they could hang, shoot, burn, and beat victims to death without scrutiny. A culture of impunity prevailed. The abuses were so pervasive that in 1919 the Texas legislature investigated the charges and uncovered a clear pattern of state crime. Records of the proceedings were soon filed away as the Ranger myth flourished. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA groundbreaking work of historical reconstruction, \u003ci\u003eThe Injustice Never Leaves You\u003c\/i\u003e has upended Texas's sense of its own history.
