Minnesota Liberal Politician Who Campaigned to ‘Dismantle the Police Department’ Falls Victim to Carjacking and Assault – Now Calls for Tougher Juvenile Penalties

[Woody]

Stupid cunt. 

 

 

 

Shivanthi Sathanandan, a vice chair of the Minnesota DFL Party and a vocal advocate for defunding the police, has found herself on the receiving end of the crime she once believed could be solved through social programs.

Sathanandan, who is of Indian and Sri Lankan descent, was violently carjacked and assaulted in her own driveway in broad daylight, as her young children looked on in horror. Sathanandan, who is now calling for tougher penalties for juvenile offenders, thanked the police officers who responded to her emergency.

In a detailed Facebook post that included a graphic image of her face after the incident, Sathanandan wrote, “You could have been reading the obituary for me and my children today. But instead, I’m here. To write this. Look at my face. These criminals will not win. We need to take back our city. And this will not be the last you hear from me about this.”

The deeply unsettling event occurred at the Minneapolis home of Sathanandan and involved four young men, all armed. Sathanandan suffered a broken leg, lacerations on her head, and extensive bruising. Her children and neighbors were threatened at gunpoint during the incident.

 

Read her story below:

 

Yesterday my children and I were violently car jacked in the driveway of our home in Minneapolis. Four very young men, all carrying guns, beat me violently down to the ground in front of our kids. The young men held our neighbors up at gunpoint when they ran over and tried to help me. All in broad daylight.

Look at my face in the picture. This is the face of a mother who just had the sh$t beaten out of her. A mother whose only thought was, “let me run far enough and fight hard enough so that my kids have a chance to get away.” This is the face of a mother who just listened to her four year old daughter screaming non-stop, her 7 year old son wailing for someone to come help because bad guys are murdering his Mama in the back yard, her neighbors screaming in outrage… all while being beaten with guns and kicks and fists.

I have a broken leg, deep lacerations on my head, bruising and cuts all over my body.
And I have rage.

These men knew what they were doing. I have NO DOUBT they have done this before. Yet they are still on OUR STREETS. Killing mothers. Giving babies psychological trauma that a lifetime of therapy cannot erase. With no hesitation and no remorse.
I’m now part of the statistics. I wasn’t silent when I fought these men to save my life and my babies, and I won’t be silent now. We need to get illegal guns off of our streets, catch these young people who are running wild creating chaos across our city and HOLD THEM IN CUSTODY AND PROSECUTE THEM. PERIOD.

Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

You could have been reading the obituary for me and my children today. But instead I’m here. To write this.
Look at my face. These criminals will not win. We need to take back our city. And this will not be the last you hear from me about this.

 

 

The hypocrisy is not lost on those who remember her earlier stance. Sathanandan was a vocal supporter of dismantling the very police department she now praises for their support. Critics argue that her case serves as a potent example of the very real dangers of adopting radical policies without fully understanding their repercussions on public safety.

In her June 2020 post, Sathanandan wrote, “We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Say it with me. DISMANTLE The Minneapolis Police Department”

She added, “As allies, what can we do right now? LISTEN and LEARN from our Black siblings. And then AMPLIFY this message right now, in this moment. MPD has systematically failed the Black Community, they have failed ALL OF US. It’s time to build a new infrastructure that works for ALL communities. If you are still disagreeing with that BASIC FACT, I’m not sure what to say to you.”

 

After the incident, Sathanandan thanked the Minneapolis 4th Precinct Officers, Mayor Frey, Chief O’Hara, Paramedics, neighbors, friends, and DFL family for their support, stating, “I’m so grateful for this community that wraps us in love.

The Gateway Pundit has reached out to Sathanandan and requested a comment if she still stands by her previous calls to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department following her traumatic experience.

According to Alpha News, “The Minneapolis Police Department confirmed that it received a report about the alleged carjacking.”

If I were MAGA and I read this, I'd take the message that if we violently terrorize politicians who supported Defend The Police we might be able to convince them to snort the thin blue line.

When are you guys going to do that?  Who do you want to target?

Don't call the cops. You can handle this on your own...

You couldn't pay me for Minnesota police help. Remember this guy?

As for the liberal politician? NIMBY again then they see the reaps of their evil policies when they see that they can't be rehabilitated for most of the perpetrators which are due to lax bail reform.

Just call Omar.

She can throw her beehive at the perpetrator.

No, I want to call the social workers.  They can talk to my assailant and I about our feelings and possibly help us become best friends. 

 

[Bumbles247]

Option 1 - pull out my legally owned 9MM and shoot the motherfuckers who attacked me.

Option 2 - wait for police to save me from being killed while getting my ass kicked as I complain there was no social worker on duty.

 

I guess I really am a right-wing nut job.

What The Left Says: "We shouldn't send cops to emergency calls that could be better handled by people trained in mental health episode de-escalation"

What Retards Hear: "We should send kindergarten teachers to scold armed carjackers into submission"

Just once it would be nice if one of you clowns took a single political issue seriously.

Given the situation above would sending a mentally trained health professional be a better choice than a police officer?

What people like you ignore. Those type of emergency calls are the most dangerous to police  calls there are.

No they're not.  Units like the ones I'm talking about exist and the data we get from them 100% validates the choice not to send armed cops to those scenes.

I say there should be separate numbers for Police emergency response and Fire/Medical emergency response. I do understand there may be some situations where both are needed, BUT it seems that many of the latter end up with outcomes that could have been avoided. Troll me, ridicule me, etc.. all you’d like, I’ve said this for 20+ years!! And I grew up very “entrenched” with our local FIRE/EMS house on LINY (family/heritage wise).

To clarify, the latter or the former?  

Are you saying calls that Fire/EMT go to should be dealt with by cops, or calls that cops go to should be dealt with by different first-responders?

[Toofast80]

“But they go to the same “emergency response” switchboard or center”, “that’s ridiculous, the police ALWAYS need to secure the scene first”, “blah, blah, blah”... We’ve don’t it the other way, and there have ALWAYS BEEN questions with it, why not try a different route!?

I disagree with splitting them, but not for any of these reasons.

I just don't want to complicate emergency response on the public end.  

If you've got 2 different numbers all of a sudden when it used to be the same, there will automatically exist a cohort of emergency-havers that don't remember they've been split and are forced to wait longer to get help because of an extra transfer to a new person who's allowed to help them.

Plus it'll be harder for kids to remember two different emergency numbers so emergency situations where they're the ones who have to call are going to be more difficult to handle.

You said "the latter" run into outcomes that could have been avoided.  The latter is Fire/EMT response, meaning you'd be saying that they should be replaced as the first response by cops.  

The rest of what you were saying seemed like it made more sense if you meant "the former", meaning sending Fire/EMT could help us avoid unfortunate outcomes of overaggressive police response, so I wanted to check which you meant before I responded.

Ta’kiya Young may still be alive if there were another number that the simpletons (that lock their keys in the car every other day) could call to get help! And this is another issue, but also one I’ve “harped” on for a VERY LONG TIME!

The calls that were meant for Fire/EMS response had Police showing up and stirring the situation into a frenzy, not solving a thing that had to do with the original issue, and then arresting people that needed help, but couldn’t get it since fucking cops showed up! “The latter or “ladder 🤣””👍

FYI my dislike for the police began with that “entrenchment” with our Fire/EMS house when I was young! I remember multiple large fights or “brawls” between Fire and Cops after the calls were done! Many times cops come to the scene with an extremely arrogant attitude while lacking the tools to aid or solve the issue at hand!!

Absolutely. 

This is what we mean when we say Defund The Police.  Taking some non-critical responsibilities off cops' hands and diverting part of the police budget toward the creation of new civic welfare units that handle those responsibilities instead.

I'm not disagreeing with you.  

The only point I said I disagree on is making a new emergency number.  The intent BEHIND making that new number I'm 100% on board with.
