Mr Mayor and other Commissioners,
This week you joined many other parts of the nation, most far more diverse than Bozeman, toseek social equality and justice. Laudable goal Commissioner Cunningham, but I am
disappointed in a number of neglected peoples.I don't think any "group" is looked at with more disdain in this region than the Mormons. Fat
shaming may be in second, but pay attention to yours and others' reactions when one of thoseyoung men in white shirt and tie approach. Much worse though is the lack of honor paid to
Capt. Dorn (Black retired police captain, gunned down in St. Louis last week) here and acrossthe nation. VP Biden, the Black Caucus, House leadership all take a knee (deservedly so) for
George Floyd et al, but not a word has been spoken about Capt. Dorn. Shame on all forforgetting him. I guess he and the other aforementioned peoples don't measure up to your
standards.Sincerely,
Sam Martin
