Minneapolis, MN \u2014 In what appears to be a first in city politics, the Minneapolis City Council voted to reject former Minneapolis Police Sergeant Andrew Bittell\u2019s workers\u2019 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<\/a> from 2018-2021. <\/p>\n

The workers\u2019 compensation claim is now referred back to the city attorneys. Workers\u2019 compensation is a no-fault system and prior misconduct by Bittell is not relevant to the claim, said the city attorney. <\/p>\n

The decision was made during the Oct. 2 Policy & Government Oversight Committee<\/a> meeting. Read the meeting\u2019s agenda here<\/a>. Council Member Latrisha Vetaw was the only one of five council members present who voted yes for the settlement. The councilors that voted no were Robin Wonsley, Andrew Johnson, Emily Koski, and Jason Chavez. <\/p>\n

The committee approved<\/a> seven other workers\u2019 compensation payments totaling $873,500. Watch the meeting here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Two weeks before the Oct. 2 meeting, the city council approved $1,395,000<\/a> in workers\u2019 compensation settlements with 11 former officers.<\/p>\n

In two years after the 2020 uprising, the City of Minneapolis used tax-payer funds to pay over $22M<\/a> in workers\u2019 compensation settlements to 144 Minneapolis police officers. Tax-payers are further paying over $875,000 a month<\/a> in disability pensions for at least 169 former officers who left the force since the murder of George Floyd.<\/p>\n

Council member Wonsley stated during the Sept. 18 meeting<\/a> that the settlements are \u201ca massive liability\u201d<\/strong> and \u201ca major financial burden\u201d<\/strong> on residents and property owners who are seeing their taxes go up as they\u2019re \u201cliterally footing the bill for hundreds of workers\u2019 comps claims by MPD officers.\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\u201cThese payouts are going to officers that have done egregious acts of misconduct towards residents and also have not been held accountable.\u201d <\/strong>Wonsley said she\u2019s \u201ccommitted to working with [her] colleagues to figure out how we rein in the blank check that keeps being signed to MPD.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Council members Wonsley, Ellison and Chavez regularly vote no on workers\u2019 compensation claims by Minneapolis Police. Bittell\u2019s referral back to the city is among the first of its kind. <\/p>\n

Sgt. Bittell gained widespread attention from his actions during the 2020 George Floyd Uprising<\/a>. His body camera footage from the days after the 3rd Precinct was lit aflame show him going \u2018hunting\u2019<\/a> for people, as he called it, and leading a brutal beating on Jaleel Stallings. Stallings later won a $1.5M settlement from the assault. <\/p>\n

Bittell was involved in many incidents where community members filed reports on him. Non-profit organization\u00a0Communities United Against Police Brutality<\/a>\u00a0(CUAPB) tracks\u00a0police complaints<\/a> and their data shows 10 known complaints listed against Sergeant Bittell.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Bittell was receiving salaries at the top end of MPD\u2019s pay scale. According to GovSalaries, from 2018-2021 Bittell was paid $454,339. Salaries reported for the years were; $106,084 in 2018<\/a>, $101,431 in 2019<\/a>, and $106,375 in 2020<\/a>. In 2021<\/a>, a year after Bittell beat Stallings, he was paid $140,449, 204% higher than the average MPD salary. Bittell was paid $68,041 in 2022<\/a> before he left the department. <\/p>\n

Unicorn Riot reporting from 2021<\/a> showcased Bittell urinating in public, yelling at and threatening community members and shaming and denigrating Lt. Jose Gomez while leading a strong-armed police unit patrolling the streets above Interstate 94 as the mass arrest of 646 people<\/a> occurred on Nov. 4, 2020. Lt. Gomez became the 3rd Precinct Inspector last year. <\/p>\n
