I just read something about Shivanthi Sathanandan. How many of you are familiar with this young woman? My guess would be that close to nobody would be cognizant of who she is, unless perhaps you happen to live in Minnesota. If your main source of news is the main stream media, then I would fell confident that you have not read about her lately. She is the DFL’s (Democrat Farm-Labor party) second vice chair, who was adamantly anti-police.
From C&C:
“Back on June 5th, 2020, a few days after George Floyd died on May 25th, 2020, Sathanandan posted “We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis police department.” Along with others, over the next three years Chairwoman Shivanthi would help defenestrate the Minneapolis police department.
As of this June, the Minneapolis Police Department had only 585 officers, down from 912 in 2019. As police ranks have thinned out by almost half, violent crime has soared.”
With a MPD decrease of about 36%, I guess that one might say that Ms. Sathanandan has been successful in her quest decrease the ranks of the Minneapolis police department (MPD), and thus, oh by the way, increase the risk of violent crime. As most of us are aware, “success” is a relative term, and on 9/5/23 it became a much more “realistic” term for Shivanthi Sathanandan. From CBS, Minneapolis:
MINNEAPOLIS — A leader of the Minnesota DFL says she was violently carjacked at her north Minneapolis home in front of her young children Tuesday evening.
Shivanthi Sathanandan, who is the DFL’s second vice chair, posted an image of her bloody face online along with her account of the incident.
‘Yesterday my children and I were violently car jacked in the driveway of our home in Minneapolis. Four very young men,…’
From X (previously known as Twitter):
“Multiple sources confirm Sathanandan was unhappy w/ police responding in 5 min. to the scene. She complained to
@MayorFrey that it took too long.”

Sathanandan says she suffered a broken leg, cuts and bruises after four young men carrying guns attacked her outside her home while her 4-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son screamed for help.
‘These criminals will not win. We need to take back our city….’
Sathanandan wrote on Facebook. “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.”
Hmmm! In order to “HOLD THEM IN CUSTODY” they first have to be found and then arrested. Who does Ms.Sathanandan want to do this, and how quickly? Perhaps if there were more police these thugs would be arrested in a more expeditors manner.
I wonder how many more innocent victims in. Minneapolis have never received justice because of Sathanandan’s prior rants. Could it be that because MPD is now only at 64%, that only 64% of similar crimes had been solved over the last three years. Would Justice be served if Ms. Sathanandan were to be told that because of the backlog of unsolved crimes, she would have to wait her turn?
Furthermore if catching her assailants were to be taking a while, Ms. Sathanandan might comment to the police, “Don’t you know who I am?” At that point the only reasonable answer would be, “Actually, ma’am, we know exactly who you are!”
