New postscript may be added to "Walking Tall" movies

[Bob F]

Sheriff Buford T. Pusser, thanks to a new investigation, apparently killed his wife back in the 60s... he was killed in a car crash in 1974, before the original's sequels, a 1978 Brian Dennehy MFT remake and the Dwayne Johnson remakes of the original trilogy:

Somewhere, the people behind "Cold Case" are smiling...

When we look back at what was mainstream culture for the formative years of some of us, we will have to account for valorizing law enforcement officials who turned to violence, often in the service of racism or misogyny. We were told to look up to Dirty Harry, Buford Pusser, and Billy Jack (ok a freelancer and not law enforcement). The idea that the real Pusser was a criminal is not surprising.
