You just don't get it. It's not about having a "better" police nationally credentialed by a profession steeped in oppression. You don't get praise for being the top 5 percent of oppressive militarized domestic forces. Are functions of an armed police force necessary unfortunately in present day United States, yes. But should they be LEADING public safety? Absolutely not. Change starts at the top and a public safety chief, perhaps of a law background or social work or public health, not police, needs to be in charge. Social workers and resource officers are seen as LESS THAN by police, as an ACCESSORY to a primary police force. That needs flipped. We need management, particularly a chief, as a social worker for instance. Social workers know when to call on police. Police can be an ACCESSORY to social work. That's the change that is needed. Policing must become the SECONDARY profession and presence when it comes to making sure we are a safe community. Social work and related can be 24 hours just the same as police; ask a foster care case manager. This is solvable! Change the system. The expertise in the community is there.

Twice, this morning (3/25) and yesterday morning (3/24) there have been TWO workers in the cab of a city pick-up parked in the roundabout in Park Ridge. Yesterday they were waiting to mow and today they were putting yellow tape around the shelter. I appreciate the work, but do you really want two people riding around together in a city vehicle clearly not able to engage in social distancing? Why not have them drive separately? Or work separately? Neither job seemed like it absolutely had to have 2 people. If the city wants citizens to take the rules seriously, we should see city employees doing the same. And your city employees doing this type of work should be valued in the same way as your city employees who are working from home doing "higher level" work. Thank you!

Is the City intending to abolish the police department? They are having official speakers at the rally with the official position to abolish police. Totally for ending police brutality, changing policing, minimizing policing, etc. But is Bloomington s intent to get rid of local police? That is concerning if so. I'd love to support a rally or effort the City is involved in to support black lives that does not take that position.

This isn't ok. Why is the City being silent on LGBT issues? BLM was just painted over a mural that was LGBT inclusive. BLM is true and good, but vandalizing a mural that shows the breadth of minority diversity in Bloomington is not. What about disability? The Asian community? Please keep doing good work for Black lives, and frankly even do better work for Black lives, but please please know there are many more of us that also need the City to step up its game.

Comment concerning public input on projects and surveys Greetings! I was wondering if it would be possible to have a page on the city's site that conglomerates all public input for surveys and city projects? During 2020 there were/are several surveys (MPTO, Climate change, etc.) and projects for public input (hospital site, 7-line, etc.). My thought is that it would be convenient for the public if there was a link on "https://bloomington.in.gov" web page that links to a web page that has all active surveys and city projects that are taking public input. Thank you for your time, Joe Neukam

Fireworks every night for a week is insane, and dangerous. Please move to one or maybe try nights a year. For those who still have to work this is very disrupting.
