wasn’t this the rookie cop who had only been on the job a couple days?
Nope. That was J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane

Tou Thao
Tou Thao, a Hmong-American,[51] was aged 34 at the time of Floyd’s murder and started as a part-time community service officer in 2008. He graduated from the police academy in 2009. After a two-year layoff, he resumed police work in 2012.[47][52] Six complaints had been filed against Thao, none resulting in disciplinary action. In 2014, a man claimed Thao handcuffed him without cause, threw him to the ground, and punched, kicked, and kneed him; the man’s teeth were broken and he was hospitalized.[47][53] The resulting lawsuit was settled for $25,000.[47] Thao kept bystanders away and has been found guilty of violating Floyd’s civil rights.[54]
J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane
J. Alexander Kueng, a Black[37] American then aged 26, and Thomas Kiernan Lane, a White[37] American then aged 37,[55][56][57] were licensed as law enforcement officers in August 2019.[56][58] They had trained together.[59] Chauvin was the superior officer responsible for the majority of Kueng’s field training.[59] On May 3, 2020, video of an arrest incident in Minneapolis showed Chauvin, Kueng, Lane, and another officer roughly detaining a man on the ground as bystanders pleaded for the officers to show mercy. Kueng and Lane were with Chauvin as the day was part of their field training. The man, whom they detained wrongfully, said he had trouble breathing, and the incident was later said to be similar to the arrest of George Floyd on May 25, 2020.[60][61] Kueng and Lane were in their first week as Minneapolis police officers when Floyd was murdered.[62][55] Lane’s application to join the police department had portions covering his prior criminal history redacted, including convictions for obstructing legal process and damaging property when he was 18.[63] Kueng and Lane helped Chauvin to hold Floyd down; both were found guilty of violating Floyd’s civil rights.[54] In October 2022, Keung pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter and in December 2022, he was sentenced to three and a half years in jail.[64]
