On the Sharon Sayles Belton website, there is a link to a page called,
"Separating facts from fodder."
It says (emphasis added):
<quote>
The Mayor's opponent likes to complain about minority percentages on
city
police force.R.T.--you say you were once a reporter. Can you spell
the facts?
The facts speak for themselves:
2000 US Census for *Minnesota*: 10% Minority Population
2000 *Minneapolis* Police Department: 15.11% sworn minority
employees
<end of quote>
Anybody know offhand what the minority population of *Minneapolis* is?
(By the way, I'm not suggesting that the statistics are a reason to vote
for the candidate endorsed by the Minneapolis Police Federation.)
