Comments
My name is Clara and I’m a Bozeman kid. For the FY 2020 in Bozeman, police/police pensions took up over
30% of Bozeman’s expenditures. Across the nation, we can see that the legacy of the racially targeted war
on drugs has scarred communities with mass incarceration and torn families apart. Furthermore, the
system is set up so that police exist in a chain of command and aren’t held morally responsible for their
actions. As an upcoming senior at BHS, the presence of police in my high school creates a hostile
environment wherein I and many students feel unsafe. I demand that the local government (mayor, city
council, commissioners) set a precedent for community healing and defund the police. Remove them from
my school.

Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
