A New York City police officer is receiving praise for using nonlethal force to fend off five menacing, visibly drunk men on a subway platform, according to authorities and video of the incident.

A video of the confrontation Sunday taped by a bystander and posted on social media shows Officer Syed Ali shouting repeatedly: "Stand back. I don't want to hurt you," as the men approached him in unison. The officer brandished his baton, but does not appear to have reached for his service revolver.

His apparent de-escalation of the incident came as some critics of police around the country are urging greater use of nonlethal tactics when possible.

He whipped them, it's amazing video, yes, he fends off 5, he has a baton, it looks to me like he uses kicks a lot as well.

The one that fell is damn lucky he didn't hit the third rail.

New York City and State is a Sanctuary for illegals.

The REAL story is that the 5 men were released without charges...because at least 2 of the perps were illegal immigrants and would be deported.
