Now I'm all Confused

This movie is played on our local PBS station quite a bit. Now I was certain it was a movie I had seen PBS quite some time ago. But watching it again recently it is patently obvious that I had never seen this movie before. So the question is exactly what movie am I thinking of? Can anyone help.
1) It was a post-western.
2) I was thinking Tom Berenger was the main star (which I often confuse with Chris Cooper) but his filmography doesn't include any recent post-westerns.
3) It involved the investigation of a sheriff but I believe he was still alive and the current sitting sheriff.
4) Like Lone Star the story was told through the eyes of several characters. We're talking a very large ensemble cast.
5) Race relations was a very strong theme.
6) Now the biggest difference from Lone Star I can remember is the look of the film. I remember the film looking "sunnier". Lots of oranges and yellows. Almost like every single scene was filmed at either dawn or dusk. And it was more stylized with lots of low camera angles and shots through gaps in the scenery.
7) There wasn't anything about the US Army or a night club shooting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
