Data: Half of arrestees where Castile shot are black
The St. Anthony police data shows that while just 7 percent of residents in St. Anthony and the neighboring towns of Lauderdale and Falcon Heights that the department also serves are black, nearly half of all arrests performed by St. Anthony officers were of African-Americans in 2016.
And despite just a small increase in the area's African-American population since 2010, the percentage of the department's black arrestees has increased steadily since 2011, when a third of the people it arrested were black.
