The vice chair of Minnesota's Democratic Party wanted the Minneapolis Police Department “dismantled” following the death of George Floyd.
In social media posts from the summer of 2020, Shivanthi Sathanandan expressed support for far-left members of the Minneapolis City Council who wanted to defund the police as protests turned to riots engulfing entire neighborhoods.
Following a violent carjacking by four youths that left her badly mauled, she's changed her tune. (RELATED: New Chicago Mayor Preaches Tolerance For Criminals After Violent Rampage)
Fox News further reports:
Shivanthi Sathanandan, the 2nd Vice Chairwoman for the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, posted on Facebook Wednesday that she was “violently carjacked” by “four very young men, all carrying guns.” She said they assaulted her in front her children outside their home in broad daylight. She also included a photo of her head injuries and reported having a “broken leg, deep lacerations on my head, bruising and cuts” around her body as well as feeling “rage” against the lack of accountability against criminals.
“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,” Sathanandan wrote.
She continued, “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.”
…
She concluded writing, “Thank you to the incredible Minneapolis 4th Precinct Officers, Mayor Frey, Chief O'Hara, Paramedics, neighbors, friends and DFL family, who all came to our aide during this terrifying experience. I'm so grateful for this community that wraps us in love.”

Animals just need to be kept behind bars, or put down.
It takes police to do what you NOW want. You defunded them. Remember?
I bet she doesn’t want to defund the police anymore.
Who knew all it would to change a far leftist liberal is a few thugs and a severe beating. This is revolutionary. It should spread to all these drfund liberal demoturds.
Let police and especially get judges to do their jobs and keep law breakers incarcerated and to serve their full terms, no early releases or light bails. Betcha crime rates would drop.
Typical politician. Only see what the problems are when it affects them. She should resign immediately.
She should be exiled/deported!
U wanted this day 1 Reap what U sow
She may have found out first hand why dismantling the police department is a BAD BAD idea, but does the experience teach her how to think critically? How to judge issues based on the facts and not a political ideology?
I don’t have a lot of hope for her, considering that she was also pushing for gun control in her FB post, as if that will do anything about roving thugs.
RE-fund the police??? No dice. You wanted to DE-fund the police, and you got it.
Now live with it.
YOU REAPED THIS ,,NOW ENJOY IT! DISGUSTING AND PATHETIC, HOW FOOLS LIKE THIS ONLY SAY SOMETHING WHEN IF DIRECTLY EFFECTS THEM OF THEIR LOVED ONES! WHAT ABOUT THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED,ROBBED, RAPED, BEAT UP BECAUSE OF A DE-FUNDED POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE LAST 2-3 YEARS? OMAR’S PROBABLY YOUR BEST BUD, AND BOTH OF YOU SHOULD RESIGN TODAY! SHAME ON YOU…
I just cannot imagine why she limited who can comment on her post. Oh yes because she used to want to defund the police—that is a great idea when other people are getting beaten and robbed. We live and die by the choices that we make. Shivanthi Sathanandan, didn’t you make yours?
A lot of people feel sorry for what happened and rightfully so. But, maybe ‘Anti-law and order’ supporters need to look into the mirror and ask themselves if they had not contributed to this sorry situation. She escaped with her life and some recoverable injuries. Many victims aren’t as lucky. Now that she has experienced her folly in judgement, perhaps she will set the example for others who fault the efforts and intent of the men and women who represent the defense against criminals. Criminals have to be dealt with harshly to prevent recurring attacks on innocents. Giving free passes because of Color benefits no one and hurts the majority minorities image, reputation and civil standings in the community.
And you immediately blame illegal guns. Guns don’t kill and beat people criminals do. Sorry your kids had to see this. Maybe you can apologize to them.
Now that you have been a victim, you are changing your tune! Typical Democrat.
Ahh, schadenfreude is _such_ a guilty pleasure…!
ALWAYS be careful what you vote for!
