Four men allegedly broke Sathanandan\u2019s<\/a> leg and beat her with their fists and guns in front of her two young children at her Minneapolis home before stealing her car and fleeing the scene, she said<\/a> in the post. Sathanandan, who had previously backed efforts to reduce the police force, urged fellow Minneapolis residents to \u201ctake back\u201d their city and prosecute violent criminals in her post following the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe 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,\u201d Sathanandan wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
