When police departments assign officers to patrols, is it common for two rookies to be paired (versus pairing a rookie with a more experienced officer)?
In the Floyd case, the first two responding officers (Lane and Keung) were two rookies. Floyd may have gotten unlucky in that the two more experienced officers who showed up later (Chavin and Thao, with Chauvin taking command of the situation upon arrival) had high rates of misconduct complaints.
