Thanks Matt,
I’ve actually already started the process of filing a complaint with the Police Department through Sgt. Chaffins. Here is a link to the videos: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02tcJK3sjXhe2ZyWvsCfrSnbvaG6v3dNuZbVubfFDxzGuN2mX6HJdJBAmaHFabyrqWl&id=3805415&mibextid=qC1gEa

I spoke with our Assistant City Manager, Chuck Winn. He let me know the process to file a complaint against Bozeman Police Officerswould go through our Police Chief, Jim Veltkamp, directly. I have copied both here for your reference.
I will process your written submission to the City Commission as per our public comment procedure.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you

I am submitting 3 videos of Bozeman Police and MSU police harassing, handcuffing, and searching a black man for running a stop sign on his bicycle. Additionally, I am
submitting the public comments from my Facebook and Instagram post to be included in public record. The racial discrimination committed by Bozeman PD on6/30/2023 is completely unacceptable and there has been overwhelming support from Bozeman citizens in demanding action be taken for this injustice.
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with your comment,you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all information.
