From: Todd Feathers
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) Copies of all department documents--such as equipment request forms, inventory logs, etc.--detailing the number of chemical gas canisters (tear gas, pepper spray, etc.), rubber bullets, bean bag guns, long range acoustic devices (often known as sound cannons), riot gear (helmets, shields, etc.), flash bang grenades, stun grenades, and other non-lethal projectiles distributed to department personnel between the dates of May 20, 2020 and June 10, 2020.
2) Copies of all department documents detailing the number of chemical gas canisters (tear gas, pepper spray, etc.), rubber bullets, bean bag projectiles, flash bang grenades, stun grenades, and all other lethal and non-lethal projectiles expended between the dates of May 20, 2020 and June 10, 2020.
I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist (evidence of my work can be found at toddfeathers.com) and I intend to use the requested records to publish articles in the public interest.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Todd Feathers

Thank you very much for your help on this. I have one quick question for clarification:
The records only cover May 29 to June 2. The original request was for records from May 20 to June 10. Does that mean that officers did not use force of any kind during protests outside of that five day period?
Thank you,
Todd
From: Atlanta Police Department
Good morning Todd,
These records concern use of force reports for the items you outlined. The protests in Atlanta began on Friday, May 29, 2020. We don't have anything further between the last incident on June 2nd and June 10th.
