Yakima Makes Me Sick Options

[Coomer]

I hate my hometown with a passion...tonight was so damn stupid.

I came into town today because I had to help my dad install some new struts on my bro's car. Tonight, I was driving around(just myself in my car) with my friends(3 friends in a Tahoe) and we decided to go to Jack in the Box to get some food. We wanted to go inside so we parked in the second row of parking since there were tons of cars filling up the first row(including the two handicapped spots...occupied by cars full of teenagers.) Right when we got out of the cars, a cop rolled in and got on his PA saying "You in the yellow car and you in the black suburban, you guys need to leave now! You're in Albertsons property and are trespassing unless you're shopping in Albertons." Albertons was just barely still open, and in the parking lot which probably holds 100 cars(and had about 5 cars in it, close to the Albertons entrance, and another 10 or so, lined up in one row close-ish to Jack in the Box), we were in the very back of it next to Jack in the Box.

We said that there was no parking, and the cop told us to take that up with the Jack in the Box management. So my three friends went to the drive-through. I went for a drive around the block and then decided I'd just park in the same spot and grab something to drink from Albertsons.

So I went in, got a Sobe, kept my reciept(knowing I might need it in court later,) and walked out. When I walked out I stopped by my friend's Tahoe to ask where we were going now, and then the cops drove over and yelled at me, asking me what my problem was.

I held my Sobe up and said that I just bought it from Albertsons, and that I saved the reciept knowing I'd probably get trouble from the YPD. I asked them if he wanted to see it, then he screamed "THAT'S IT!", jumped out of his car, got right up in my face, and starting yelling at me telling me I was getting a trespassing ticket.

I told him I had bought something from Albertsons and was on the way back to my car, and that I was being unfairly targeted, seeing as how I was the only one out of the 11 or so cars parked in Albertsons parking near Jack in the Box that actually bought something from Albertons, and everyone else was just hanging out near Jack in the Box.

After some screaming, arguing, and harassment, he told me to just leave. So I asked for his name and badge number. Then he really got in my face and demanded my ID so that he could write me a ticket. I gave it to him and he made me follow him so that he could talk to me without the gathering crowd around.

We argued back and forth for about half an hour and I told him that he should write me the ticket...it won't hold up in court but it'll look good for my harassment complaint. Finally he told me to just get the hell out before he arrested me for disorderly conduct.

So I left, so damn pissed at the harassment I'd endured. I was the ONLY one in the Albertsons parking lot that was harassed even though I ACTUALLY bought something from the store...the other 10 or so cars parked in the lot hanging out at Jack in the Box were left alone completely! I was so shaken up that I could hardly drive.

I talked to my parents when I got home and they said that we could file a complaint but it'd probably just lead to more of the same...the newspaper always writes about how wrong our police department is...it never changes...my dad and I have seen first-hand how corrupt some city officials are...a head lieutenant of the police force hates my guts with a passion. And my parents and I can't afford a laywer. I try to avoid Yakima as much as possible now that I'm moved out of the city, but I can't avoid it forever, nor should I have to.

I just hate this place. And I feel so helpless.

thats why i plan on being a cop there buddy

lets be realistic here though.... do you think ONE letter to the congressman is going to infiltrate a supposedly corrupt police agency?

when you say "corrupt" what exactly are you talking about?
