In a heartfelt Facebook post \u2062on Wednesday, she revealed that\u200b she\u2062 was violently carjacked by four young men who not only stole her vehicle\u2062 but also subjected her to a brutal beating. The attack left her with a broken leg, deep lacerations on her head, and numerous cuts and bruises\u2062 all over her body.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m now \u2064part of the statistics,&#8221; Sathanandan wrote. &#8220;We \u200cneed to get illegal guns off of our streets, catch these young people who are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/minneapolis-dem-goes-from-dismantle-the-police-to-prosecute-teens-after-brutal-carjacking\/\" title=\"Minneapolis Dem shifts from 'DISMANTLE' to 'PROSECUTE' after brutal carjacking.\">running wild\u200b creating chaos<\/a> across our city, and <strong>HOLD THEM IN CUSTODY AND PROSECUTE\u200b THEM<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite her harrowing experience, Sathanandan expressed \u200cher gratitude towards the &#8220;incredible&#8221;\u2062 Minneapolis police officers who swiftly responded to \u200bthe incident, as well as Police Chief Brian O&#8217;Hara.<\/p>\n<h3>A Change of Heart<\/h3>\n<p>Interestingly, Sathanandan&#8217;s current tough-on-crime stance \u2062and praise for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ark-man-confesses-to-breaching-capitol\/\" title=\"Ark. man confesses to breaching Capitol\">police stand<\/a> in stark contrast \u2062to her\u200d previous positions during the 2020 George Floyd riots.<\/p>\n<p>On June\u200c 5, 2020, she\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/shivanthi.sathanandan\/posts\/pfbid02KMo6PfAFWKWyXLSVqGdZLcYBfZZLC9uU6csrJATKfd4uJKTQxweEEd1kzxAcAJQhl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demanded<\/a> the dismantling of the Minneapolis Police Department, claiming that it\u200b had failed both the Black community and society\u2063 as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Minneapolis did make an attempt to\u200c defund its \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/flashback-police-officer-discovers-young-man-walking-to-work-offers-him-life-changing-gift\/\" title=\"Flashback: Police Officer Discovers Young Man Walking to Work, Offers Him Life-Changing Gift\">police department<\/a>\u2063 in response to such demands. In December\u200d 2020, the city council <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/minneapolis-cuts-nearly-8-million-in-police-funding-as-murder-rate-soars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">slashed<\/a> \u200b nearly\u200d $8 million from the police budget as crime rates soared.<\/p>\n<p>However, the defunding effort was ultimately rejected by voters in the\u2064 2021 ballot, who opted to maintain the police force rather than replace it with a &#8220;Department of Public Safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A City in Crisis<\/h3>\n<p>Despite these\u2064 developments, Minneapolis\u200b continues to grapple with a surge in crime. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/tableau.minneapolismn.gov\/views\/CrimeDashboard\/Summary?:display_count=n&#038;:iid=5&#038;:origin=viz_share_link&#038;:showAppBanner=false&#038;:showVizHome=n&#038;:tabs=yes&#038;:toolbar=no&#038;:isGuestRedirectFromVizportal=y&#038;:embed=y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">police data<\/a>, the \u2062city is experiencing an alarming increase in assaults, sex offenses, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/thieves-steal-cars-then-commit-armed-robberies-yet-its-the-cars-fault\/\" title=\"Car thefts and subsequent armed robberies: Blaming the cars?\">motor \u200bvehicle thefts<\/a>. Homicides and burglaries are also on the rise, nearing the numbers \u200cfrom the previous year.<\/p>\n<h3>A \u2063Plea for Justice<\/h3>\n<p>In her recent post, Sathanandan implored Minnesotans to remember her ordeal when considering the release of juveniles and\u200b young offenders from custody. She emphasized that these criminals must \u2063not be allowed to prevail, and that it is crucial to reclaim the safety of\u2062 their \u200bcity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Minnesota Democratic Party official, Shivanthi Sathanandan, who previously advocated for dismantling the Minneapolis Police Department, is now advocating for tough-on-crime measures.
