Army releases redacted police report on altercation during Trump's Arlington cemetery visit
The U.S. Army has released an almost entirely redacted version of the police report describing when a staffer for Donald Trump’s campaign reportedly shoved an Arlington National Cemetery employee who was trying to prevent them from photographing a ceremony to honor service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal.
Federal law prohibits campaign or election-related activities within Army national military cemeteries. The four sentences visible in the executive summary of the report released under court order Friday block out a key word that appears to describe the Trump campaign staffer shoving the cemetery employee out of the way.
It does say the Trump staffer used both hands while trying to move past the cemetery employee. Both the names are redacted, and the sworn statement the cemetery worker gave to police is completely blacked out.

This country is fucking useless.
Almost entirely redacted, what a fucking joke.
We all know what happened. Trump is a piece of shit who was using the dead to campaign against well established rules and common decency. Anybody who this story would have angered is already angry about it.
I can see the report here, and i don't see how the fuck you say it is "almost entirely redacted" unless we are both reading different shit.
Edit: disregard I just scrolled down and entire chunks are fucking blacked out. What a bunch of fucking dipshits these people are protecting an orange fuckface rapist criminal.
Did you check your link there? Every word in the sworn statements is blocked out
I edited my comment to reflect this revelation of my stupidity
Nice. I understand it looks legit at first, but all the actual "stuff" to it takes a bit of scrolling and this one in particular is a complete absurdity
Jesus you weren't kidding.
I'm confused though, what is the logic for redacting the statement? What is the legal justification?
Probably because it looks really bad for Trump.
Can't wait for this shitstain to shuffle off their mortal coil
