Pusser always came off as an asshole. For his "Honest" pretentions, he took bribes hand over fist. He just a corrupt southern sheriff, just like other corrupt southern sheriffs.
He was shot in the face while with his wife, I doubt if he faked his wife's death and his own injuries.
A famous southern sheriff that cleaned up crime in his area with use of a big stick. A movie was made about him. He was shot in the face and survived, his wife did not. Photos will show his disfigured face. As my above post states I don't think anyone would try and cover up a murder by shooting themselves in the face.Who?
Watch the video, his wife was likely already dead before the shooting, and his wound was close contact, not fired from a distance.A famous southern sheriff that cleaned up crime in his area with use of a big stick.

Still according to the video he did not own a .30 cal. weapon and could not shoot himself twice in the face. So I don't believe the negative story about him. He maybe not perfect bt was a strong enemy of organized crimeand corrupt government.Watch the video, his wife was likely already dead before the shooting, and his wound was close contact, not fired from a distance.
Shooting yourself with a .30 carbine is seriously inviting death. Thats the whole point of a .30 carbine round.Still according to the video he did not own a .30 cal. weapon and could not shoot himself twice in the face. So I don't believe the negative story about him. He maybe not perfect bt was a strong enemy of organized crimeand corrupt government.
I'm not sure he was actually shot with a .30 carbine, either. Just bacause someone shot up his car with one does not mean that is what actually hit him in the face.Still according to the video he did not own a .30 cal. weapon and could not shoot himself twice in the face.
