NEW YORK — ABC7
The five men who were caught on camera fighting a lone New York City police officer in a Manhattan subway station will not face charges, and the head of the NYPD’s police union is criticizing the decision.
The video shows the officer fending off several men who appear to be ganging up on him inside the East Broadway subway station in the Lower East Side.
Police said the officer had asked the men, who are homeless and appeared intoxicated, to leave the station Sunday night after a woman said they were harassing her.
The men refused and then became combative, according to police. watch
The homeless are replacing transgenders as the new royalty in the USA.
This is All heading to vigilantism. And then anarchy. All according to the plan.
Unbelievable. This is a bad decision and shows just how much New York politicians hate cops. I hope the police protest or strike.
Something wrong with that guys gun?
He fought them off with a stick. It’s 5 against 1, where in the heck is his gun?

Liberals live in fear of someone like myself on a jury in such cases.
He didn’t use his gun because he knew he would up on murder chrages if he did.
This type of thing will continue to happen becuase the elite do not ride the subways.
pop ups and hijacked names? Is this the new iOTWR?
Looked like a bunch of wall climbers to me.
I have two words for stuff like this that keeps happening – Bernard Goetz (as that idiot on the young turks says, “look it up”.)
Cop should have shot one.
Homeless people are broke. Arrest them and they just get three hots and a cot for the whole time they are in custody, with a net loss to the authorities. That’s why no charges were filed.
It’s all about the money nowadays, in case you didn’t know.
DavidW – You damn right!
Goetz . Can you dig it,,, Goetz
Whoe’s the man that won’t cop out,
when there’s danger all about,
Goetz
Gosh. Since the officer’s name is Syed Ali, won’t he be fine?
“homeless and appeared intoxicated, to leave the station Sunday night after a woman said they were harassing her.”
What a Bitch, ugh,,, deserved it. right!
Syed Ali,should be fined.
So glad you all were present,,,
Paging Rudy Giuliani!
Ohhhhh PWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEASE let the NYPD go on strike. Then we can finally wall off the city as a penal colony, a la ‘Escape from New Yawk!’ đŸ˜€
Draw and drop the first one that comes at you and keep dropping them until they back off. That officer’s life was clearly in danger. Do you think they would have shown him any mercy if they could have gotten past his baton?
Had he used his service weapon, in NYC, he would of been suspended without pay, fired then brought up on assault charges. His actions were wise and justified.
Wise and justified? I disagree. Now anytime a policeman is outnumbered and threatened he will be expected to successfully fight off his attackers with a stick. A precedent has been set, all you need is a stick.
