Taking down a drug dealer


Ok lets just say that there is a drug deal that you want to get off the street.

First thing that should be done is to inform the police but should they prove to be of know help or informing the police is not an option for some reason then please keep reading.

To take out a drug dealer you are going to need a few things.

1. Video or photo camera 

2. Audio recorder

3. Note book and pencil

4. 2 or 3 USB drives

5. binoculars

Now the best way to take out a drug dealer is to get proof and then make sure that proof gets to the right people and here is how.

1. Know your target: Watch your target follow them around for afew day if you can but you must great take care not to be seen. By your target. This so so that you can get to know more about your target. You should make note of the car/truck/SUV that they drive color, make, model, and plate number. You should also note where they go the type of place the address thing like that how long they stay at each location. This will help you find out when and where they sale their drugs maybe even where they get the drugs wich they sale. It will also make sure that your target is not a undercover cop. Keep track of all this on an audio recorder for later to write down in a notebook

2. Observation: now that have a basic idea of your targets movements time to make some other notes. Now you should use some binoculars to keep a safe distance as to not be found out by your target. While observing your target note such thing as the number of guys if any they have watching out for them, what drugs they are dealing, what kind of weapons they keep on them if you can. While observing your target try to get some video of picture evidence. Make sure to get a good shot of your targets face, car, plate, and transactions. Again keep track of all this on an audio recorder to so that you can later write your observations in a notebook.

3. Keep all your data: Save and make 2 or 3 copies of ever thing you vidoe, photos, and audio recrodings even make a copy of your notebook on you computer and save all this to some USB drives. Now I say to use USB drive cause they are easy to hide for save keep but you should not hind then all in the same place.

4. get your evidance tio the right people: now make some copies of your all your data on to some DVDs and them to the city and county police.

Now that you have done all this I shouold say to only confront the deal as a last resort but if it does to come to that then you must be ready any and evey thing that could happen know that there is more then a good chance that they could and will most likey pull a gun or a knife. There is also a very good chace that the dealer will not be the only one you will be face he may have backup. Make sure to be smart about it and try to do it when there are a few by standers as possible.

A Ghost at Chattanooga's Riverbend Festival.

Ok I grew up in Chattanooga Tennessee area and have been going to the Riverbend Festival since I was a kid. In fact it was something that had happened at Riverbend the was in part why I became Dark Ghost and it was the final push I needed you might say. A few years I had taken my Grandma so watch the Country singer that was preforming that night and she can could not walk a lot so once we found a place to set up our chairs she would stay there and I would run to get her drinks and food while we were there. It was already dark and the show on the Coca-Cola stage had not been going long and my Grandma asked me to go get her a diet-coke. I went to this one concession stand thank I knew had bottled cokes. It was a long line and after I was there maybe 20 to 40 minutes there was only two or three people in line ahead of me ant in the back of the line I hear I girls voice yelling "stop" don't touch me" I look back and I see this young girl 14 maybe 16 years of age and the older drunk guy in his mid to late 20s groping her. I look around and I see this cop walking over and she saw them too cause she tried to call them over but the cop just kept walking. At this point I am next in line only one person ahead of me so I look back there and tell the girl that she can in front of me which she did. The drunk guy the get mad at me saying thing I will not put in this blog but mostly meaning why am I trying to keep him from getting lucky? I told him that anyone could see the girl is under age so unless he would like to be swimming in the Tennessee River that he best just shut up. Then that cop the had walked by starts on me for making a threat to the drunk guy I looked at the cop and told him why I said what I had and that I saw the girl trying to get him to help and him just walking by and how I now have his name and badge number and that his boss will be hearing about this. I got my Grandma's coke and then walked the girl back to her mom. I told her mom what happened and gave her the cops information. In the years since then I kept going to Riverbend and I saw that the problems kept getting worse. One year I was there a man walked in to one of the porta-potties that were there and a group of guys tried to push it down the hill and in to the river.

This year I went to Riverbend again after hearing about the brawl the happened on just the third night of the festival. Now the news media reported that the Friends of the festival the group that holds the Riverbend Festival had brought in a privet security company to help the police this year. I was there on the last night and I was not all that impressed with the security was I was able to get past it with a stun gun, mace, a baton, a pocket knife, my mask, and other parts of my gear. Also while I was there I saw that the police still seem to have no regard for the people attending Riverbend. I saw two guys in cuff being taking take out be the police the fist time the cops run over this one girl. I could not got the cops name or badge number else I myself would have reported him that girl was almost trampled had I not gotten her out of the way. Since I saw how thing were on inside the festival I started walk patrolling the outside and I only saw one cop out there and there were a lot of people not attending Riverbend that were there to see the fireworks at the end of the night. Having not seen but the one cop cover the outside of the festival I thought it best the I stay to patrolling outside as well. The only trouble I came across was a drunk guy that acted like he was looking for a fight with an older gentleman after a cigarette he seemed to claim down.
