    Anti-cop Minnesota Democratic party official left bloodied in violent carjacking (nypost.com)

    A Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party official who once vowed to “dismantle” the Minneapolis Police Department is now calling for tougher crime laws after she was beaten and bloodied in a carjacking outside of her home this week.

    Shivanthi Sathanandan, the Second Vice Chairwoman for the DFL, shared news of her attack in a Wednesday Facebook post, where she fumed that the four young suspects need to be brought to justice.

    “I have a broken leg, deep lacerations on my head, bruising and cuts all over my body. And I have rage,” wrote Sathanandan, who said the beating occurred in front of her 4-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son at around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday.

    “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 ease. With no hesitation and no remorse,” Sathanandan continued.

    It's a shame it took some crooks to knock some sense into her.

    Yeah... imago that... :rolleyes:

    She will till take everyone else's guns while keeping them foe her protection. What a POS.

    How about we take them from violent criminals and let the good citizens keep their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO BEAR ARMS.

    Gives credence to the old joke: What's a Conservative?
    A liberal who has been mugged.

    Sorry for her trouble - our streets should be safe from idiots like the four who attacked her.

    I am not defending her, but words matter here. She called to dismantle the structure of the police department and build it in a way that serves the community. Isn’t the fact that she is saying the police are still not doing enough to get crime off the streets really an extension of the same issue: police reform to enhance law and order for the people; not to protect the protectors? What’s the issue from the right? Isn’t better policing… better?

    Hmmm ... am I the one seeing "Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party Official" in the actual story and not "Democrat Party Official, as the OP's headline claims?

    Here are some findings from the DOJ report on the MPD. Do you think this sounds like good policing?

    https://minnesotareformer.com/2023/...ents-in-the-doj-report-on-minneapolis-police/


    That's a nice culture you have there. Don't hold officers accountable, the ones who do want to speak up face retaliation and lack of back-up when needed, keep problem officers employed, target minorities, use force when it's not necessary, don't intervene when it's obvious rights are being violated, hurt citizens who are critical yet not breaking and laws, and on and on....

    Merger of the Democratic Party and Farmer Labor party in the 40’s. Definitely Democratic Party.

    It’s in the f/k/a tweet within the article that the OP posted. Not sure what you want me to post.

    I counted 4 sections. The whole article is comprised of bullet point lists. Is each bullet point a paragraph when they are all related to the text summary of the bullet points?

    Is this 4 paragraphs? Five?

    Yes, I’m sorry but each bullet point has to be counted as a paragraph. At least that’s my interpretation. Otherwise someone could post a 50-inch list of bullet points.
    Thanks

    I don't eat there often, but I did have to KO a few fools a while back to get my hands on that delectible, yet scarce, chicken sandwich.

    Look how long it is, just post a few key parts of the article - it helps to get the theme. I didn’t read all that - takes too much time. We can click it if we want to read it.

    Just so you know, I typed out 5 snarky replies and then erased them.
