What Were the Other Three Cops Doing?
[An oddly unslanted article from the (Red)StarTribune] Attorneys for two former rookie Minneapolis police officers on Thursday rejected accusations that their clients aided and abetted the killing of George Floyd, casting blame instead on a senior officer who allegedly ignored his younger counterparts.

Early signs of a legal defense strategy began to emerge when former officers J Alexander Kueng, Thomas K. Lane and Tou Thao made their first court appearances in the Memorial Day killing of Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died in police custody.

#1 ...It gets better: apparently Kueng and Lane had less than thirty days on the job.

#2 I don't recall the details and it's been a few years, and it doesn't pop up easily in search, but I recall a rookie (?) policewoman who tried to stop her partner from abusing an arrestee and ended up being prosecuted herself and losing her job.
