The state’s ACLU branch reached out to the Massachusetts State Police requesting records regarding the acquisition and use of robotics.
Should there be a comma before “requesting” ?
Is the “requesting” phrase a gerund or participial ?
What does it modify ?
Answer
Comma, so it’s clear it’s ACLU not the police doing the requesting. I’d say requesting is a participle modifying “branch”.
