Hello I'm Jerry Skinner
today we're going in search of
tennessee most famous law enforcement officer
McNairy county sheriff Buford Pusser
Sheriff Pussers nineteen sixty four
to nighteen seventy
he became famous by
numerous books, magazines, and newspaper articles
movie "Walking Tall" that everyone knows about
staring Joe Don Baker.
It's said that Sheriff Pusser became a local hero
fighting organized crime on the mississippi and tennessee state line
some people were
concerned about his heavy handed tatics as being Sheriff.
others believed that if your fighting cold bloody killers
politicially correct tatics
just is not feasible
However, Sheriff Pusser
believed in fighting
fire with fire
which meant that
it's a dangerous situation when you do that and
but it seems to work
at least it did
in his case
so right now lets go and see if we can fine
some of these locations that these things happened, that we read about in all the books and magazines.
