Five homeless vagrants face no charges in attack on cop seen in viral video, says Manhattan DA
Attacking a cop has joined fare beating and public urination on the list of subway misbehavior Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance won’t bother prosecuting.
Officer Syed Ali — an Army combat vet who served in Iraq and Afghanistan — had no trouble fending off five homeless vagrants with his baton and his feet as they came at him one by one on Sunday night. The attack, captured on video, was viewed 4 million times on Twitter.
As of Tuesday night, none of the men were to be prosecuted, said Danny Frost, a spokesman for Manhattan DA Cy Vance.

The cops will start making it so no charges will be necessary.
FIVE on one? I’m immediately going to the Glock. F that, 2 on 1 gets you the Glock.
Cyrus Vance. Now there is another FAILURE name.
They’re Bums! Not homeless. They wouldn’t know the first thing about maintaining a home.
NO CHARGES!! OMG!! DEMOCRATS supporting other DEMOCRATS!!
Was hoping to see the video. I’m guessing one reason why they weren’t charged is that the LEO kicked their arses so thoroughly that they’ve already received their punishment. A nightstick in the hands of a strong LEO would leave SERIOUS bruises.
Typical liberals. Won’t enforce the laws we already have but always looking to pass new ones just the same.
SHouldn’t be any charges if he decided much earlier on in the confrontation to pull his weapon and kill at least 4 of them?
It’s NYC...
>> In my view this is just one more confirmation of my contention that we no longer live in a truly civilized society, i.e., one in which physically attacking a law-enforcement officer would be responded to with lethal force.
Dirty Mike and the boys?
And A-holes have the nerve to attack officers all the time, for everything. I’d love to see one of these Monday morning QB’s in this situation.
