After seeing an watching you guys.. I’ve decided that Buford didn’t walk so tall after all !! Very disappointed in what I’ve learned about him!!

With all the information you guys have y’all need to get someone to make another movie called ( Walking Tall The True Story) !!

More like walking small, or tall but small

In the eighties I met a S.L.E.D. agent (S.C. state law enforcement) who had worked for A.T.F. in Tennessee. He said Pusser was crooked and had been under investigation. While sheriff he had what he called a "hole in the wall gang"where he hid out people wanted in Chicago as long as they could pay, and turned them in when they couldn't. Have you ever come across this story?

There is a case were he hid such a person in the McNairy county Jail for a while.

This was common in the south. I had a deputy arrest me when I was 14 for alcohol, when I was put in the front seat of his car he told me to open the glove box and roll a joint. I rolled him a joint, then he took me way out in the woods and drop me off with a beating. I didn't smoke nor get my pint of whiskey back, but later his motorcycles were torched, needless to say somehow.

I loved Joe Don Baker's scene. "$3630 dollars you owe me. (He breaks down the amount item by item) now you sign it, and give me my money. And Mister, your hands are shaking, IF YOU MISS YOU WON'T EVER SHOOT AGAIN."

Mr.Elm i will say this to u u got my deepest respect for exposing the truth yes i watch the movie and now i follow ur sequence on the other story i'm really shocked listening to ur witness on what really happened back then again i really give u my deepest respect tks for sharing this tennessee 👍👍

people were just less cynical 50 years ago. it didn't occur to us that everyone is lying to us from every direction to manipulate us

A band. Sold girl scout cookies . Gave out food to the hungry. Often saints would fly down from heaven to dance on the dance floor.

Mike elaborate on why buford was fired from the funeral home

Is there any way to get these episodes in chronological order?

Go to the channel's playlist(s).

I'm thinking maybe his opinion towards law enforcement may have influenced his opinion on pusser if any of his family members had negative interactions with him... If this state line gang was involved with the Dixie mafia, I would expect them to be pretty tight lipped about anything they did and the names involved.

And your thinking would be completely wrong as I am from the law enforcement community having worked as a deputy sheriff for Benton County Arkansas..., about 425 miles west of McNairy County Tennessee, and I have no relatives connected to this story whatsoever. I am just interested in the real story and started investigating it. The state line was not connected to the "Dixie Mafia". Mississippi Investigator Rex Armisted coined the term "Dixie Mafia" so as to get the media as well as law enforcement to think of a band of southern criminals as being a crime family of sorts. The "state line mob" during Buford's tenure as Sheriff consisted of only Louise Hathcock and Towhead White. While White was indeed a southern criminal and knew members of the so called "Dixie Mafia", he kept the business dealings separate. Don't buy into the WALKING TALL story of Buford Pusser or the beliefs of the Facebook "Pusser Fan Pages" which hold Buford out as a hero. He was far from it.

The movie was hearsay, and we all bought into it. Show me some proof that Buford was beaten ,cut up and robbed as he claimed to have been. What state line joints did he close down? What state liners did he send to prison? Do you have any proof that he was shot eight times and stabbed seven times by parties unknown to him? Did you know he and Pauline were separated at the time of her death and she had threatened to report his corruption? Where did I hear this? From Pauline's best friend, Lavon Plunk, the wife of Deputy Peatie Plunk. It's surprising what you can learn when you actually investigate a story.

Is that really the best you have? Any moron would think that everyone was afraid of Buford. I was a deputy sheriff about the time Buford was getting out of law enforcement. One thing you learn early in a law enforcement career is that any day could be your last. Even a small man could find a way to kill you if he was motivated. You walk up to a car you have stopped and you have no idea what or who could be waiting for you, still, you walk up to that car. Maybe you're a coward and you would have been too afraid...., that's your problem.. not mine.

Yes I agree it does seem like much of these corruption claims are just hearsay. I still haven't seen any hard-core rock solid evidence that Buford was corrupt. I'm not saying he wasn't to some extent but I remain skeptical. I suspect the truth is somewhere on the middle.

I was really let down after learning Buford was crooked as the next guy!! After watching the movie I had him built up to be some great guy that really stood by the law but now I just want to forget I ever saw the movie !!😞

My girl friend mother was a friend of his an he would come a picked them up to ride to Memphis with him an she said he was a crook

Seems odd to me, an individual with the kind of injuries he sustained in 1959 was only in the hospital for a couple of weeks

I know W.O. suffered some injuries to his neck and shoulder. Beyond that I don't have anything else to share, Oddly, and by comparison, there are no police or medical records, photos, or witnesses to show that Buford was ever injured at the Plantation Club in 1957. Adamsville was had a population of less than 1000 at that time. You would think that an assault such as Buford claimed to have endured would have been the talk of the town, but oddly, no one remembers it ever happening.

It's not about selling a book, it about telling the real story. Buford wasn't the man you believe he was. He was a gangster with a badge and little more. Try doing some research.

I feel like I’m many ways this is the same situation with the new movie Sound Of Freedom. I’m not sayin Tim Ballard is a bad person but the movie does not depict the exact truth. Movies about true stories never ever do. Right now Tim Ballard is an untouchable hero because that’s the way the movie portrays him. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Its so sad to know the truth of Bufford Pusser & its really sad to know he killed his wife ( Pauline) I watched the movie & loved it & I really thought bufford was a great man in the state of Tennessee but after hearing these stories he was actually the opposite he was mean & horrible.

Mike, I thought the plantation club was robbed in 1957. Here you say the club was robbed in 1959. What is the story on this.

Buford was allegedly attacked and robbed there in February 1957. He, Jerry Wright and Marvin King Jr went to the Plantation Club and robbed it in December 1959.

Even though Pusser was a lie and a liar I would like to think something good came out of it. I feel like there are law enforcement officers out there that try to be what the movies portrayed him to be. I get angry at the people who take up for Buford. There are innocent people that had to live there lives as bad people. The Buford fans never consider that. Thank you for your work Mike.

So, you actually believe that "Walking Tall" was a documentary? It is 95% fantasy, mostly fiction.
