I respectfully urge the agency to “black out” rather than “white out” or “cut out” material that must be redacted.

Please include in your search, any and all documents, correspondence within and outside the department and including other agencies, emails, training presentations, PowerPoint slides, and Microsoft Word documents, which discuss the demonstrations and or protests through the date of this request.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, and is not being made for commercial usage.

Hi Amy,

I wanted to confirm that I have received the emails responsive to the search terms I requested.

However, I have not received any documents related to two sections of my request:

- Action Plan(s) for policing demonstrations, protests and other events on Saturday May 30th, 2015 and Sunday May 31st, 2015
- After Action reports and/or written debriefs of demonstrations, protests and other events of the day(s)

Please provide a status update regarding this request.

Hi Amy,

We just spoke on the phone. I wanted to confirm your statement of "no responsive documents" for the action planning and after action reports I requested.

Thank you so much for your help with this request! I really appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Bernard Rodriguez
