Burnsville cop resigns after testifying that he exchanged 'racially charged' e-mails with protest shooter

A Burnsville cop who testified in court this week that he exchanged racist e-mails with a man accused of shooting at Black Lives Matter protesters resigned from his department on Thursday.

Officer Brett Levin’s decision to step down capped a dramatic day in the trial of Allen Scarsella, the 24-year-old charged with felony riot and assault in connection with wounding five black men protesting the death of Jamar Clark in November 2015.
