The details in the indictment are disturbing. On a night in July 2024, the two officers, Justin McMillan and Justin Colon, both with just a few months on the job, and working out of the 115th Precinct on Northern Boulevard, allegedly turned off their body-worn cameras and stole a key from a purported sex worker to an 89th Street apartment where they suspected sex work was taking place.

In a statement after McMillan and Colon were arrested, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, "Let me be perfectly clear: Any officer who violates their oath will be investigated, exposed, and held fully accountable. That standard will never change."

But the case against McMillan and Colon won't be going any further.

ah the cops excellence

Is there a paywalled section I'm missing, or does the article end at "won't be going any further?" Pretty light on details.
