NEW: Minneapolis City Council Rejects MPD Sergeant’s Workers’ Comp Settlement
In what appears to be a first in city politics, the Minneapolis City Council voted to reject former Minneapolis Police Sergeant Andrew Bittell’s workers’ compensation claim of $145,000. With over 23 years on the force, Sgt. Bittell had a violent history of beating and abusing community members and gained nearly a half-million dollars in salary from 2018-2021.
