🚨BREAKING: Fourteen current and former Minneapolis police officers signed sworn declarations stating they believe Assistant Chief Katie Blackwell perjured herself during Derek Chauvin’s 2021 trial.
The officers said Blackwell claimed the knee restraint was not trained by the Minneapolis Police Department. Thirty-three officers, including one still serving, signed declarations affirming that the knee-on-neck or knee-to-neck/upper-shoulder restraint was taught as part of the maximal-restraint technique until 2023.
Blackwell, now Acting Chief after Chief Brian O’Hara resigned, testified that Chauvin’s position was an improvised one that was not what the department trained.
The declarations emerged in a defamation lawsuit Blackwell filed against Alpha News over the documentary The Fall of Minneapolis. A judge dismissed the suit and found the core claims substantially true. Blackwell agreed to pay $75,000 in fees and affirmed the judge’s findings as accurate.
Chauvin remains convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.
Blackwell testified that the position shown in the video was not what the department trained. The judge noted that portions of her testimony could reasonably be interpreted as incomplete or misleading by omission. She later signed a declaration affirming the judge’s findings.
Fourteen Minneapolis officers say in sworn statements they believe Acting Chief Katie Blackwell lied under oath at Derek Chauvin’s trial about the knee restraint. Thirty-three officers said the technique was trained. Her defamation suit over the claims was dismissed.
Derek Chauvin should be free!

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump was just introduced by JASON ALDEAN in Georgia and the crowd LOVED IT
TWO LEGENDS 🔥🔥
47 is doing EVERYTHING in his power to fire up Georgia voters so they don't hand their state over to absolute psychopaths.
Make sure you're voting RED, Georgia, up and down the ballot!
🚨BREAKING: Powerful moment as Navy Under Secretary Hung Cao—who fled communist Vietnam as a child—delivers a direct message on immigration:
"Don't come to this country and ask for the American DREAM if you’re not willing to obey the American LAWS and embrace the American CULTURE!"
Cao, a retired Navy captain confirmed as Under Secretary of the Navy in 2025 under President Trump, spoke from personal experience: His family arrived with nothing after escaping communism in 1975. They asked for nothing, built a life through hard work, and he went on to serve 25 years in the Navy, run for U.S. Senate in Virginia in 2024 (as a Trump-endorsed candidate), and now hold a key Pentagon role.
He also highlighted his own story in the remarks: "We came to this country with NOTHING. We asked nothing from this country... together, we will make America great again!"
After 20 years of one-party rule in Sacramento, lifelong Democrats are coming up to me every day saying they’re voting for change this year—$3 gas, first $150k tax-free, and ending mass homelessness in my first year.
The Becerra machine can outspend us, but it can’t stop the people who are done with failure.
Vote for practical results — for CHANGE — not more of the same. ✊
BREAKING: After days of getting caught pushing questionable polls, the numbers are suddenly looking very different.
CNN today:
Republicans: 53
Democrats: 47
Michigan: GOP FLIP
Maine: GOP HOLD
Texas: GOP HOLD
Alaska: GOP HOLD
Ohio: GOP HOLD
Funny how quickly the narrative changes. Maybe it’s time to stop treating polls as gospel and start questioning who’s behind them.
