[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]
The attached video is one of the most shocking and outrageous videos we have ever seen. YWN has not been able to verify where or when this was taken, but you will probably be just as outraged as everyone else who watches it.
You will see what appears to be a NYC Sanitation Police Officer giving instructions to (DSNY) sanitation workers to remove box after box of fruits and vegetables in front of a fruit store.
Towards the end of the video, the camera is panned, and one can see the area taped off with a police line, as a large crowd watches in disbelief at the scene taking place in front of their eyes.
It is possible that the city is cracking down on store owners placing merchandise more than 4 feet from the store.
Whatever the reason, and if in fact the law states that the city can confiscate the merchandise, this food can have easily been given to the homeless or poor in New York City.
If anyone has any further information of this video, please share it with us!

Sedom sedom sedom! Total wickedness!
If City Harvest doesn’t condemn this act in the strongest terms, they should be shut down as well!
How could those lowlife sanitation employees comply with such an act? Who was commanding them? Those equally lowlife, overweight, donut eaters?!
This does not come as any surprise to New Yorkers. Once NY State forced Gay Marriage in our face, these wicked acts are just a natural progression of downhill corruption! NYC has become a police state where “authority” can do whatever they please to the dumb stupid worthless taxpayer! Just keep giving out those sanitation/parking/”speeding”/red light tickets!
You can thank the “askanims” choices for Mayor, Bl$$mberg and DeBlasio. Cant wait till they come out and tell us its a chov kadosh to vote and support Hillary. After all, Hillary has done so much for us and we must show her hakaras hatov.
Btw, where was the store owner in all of this? No protest? Something is missing here.
I don’t know the circumstances that led to this but neither does YWN as clearly stated in the article.
Why then does YWN use extreme and accusatory words without knowing facts?
Maybe the fruits were contaminated and they were called in to remove them?
Good luck with that on 39th st they are above the law.
I guess they want us to eat junk food.
Whats more outrageous is that the stores put out their merchandise all the way into the sidewalk almost till the gutter so one can not walk normally. I really hope the city is cracking down on this
It looks like props. If you watch them closely you can see that the boxes don’t look very heavy. Those cases are fifty plus pounds apiece and they seem to be very lightweight.
I pray that this sanitation officer will reach a point in his life where he will know the pain of pervasive hunger and have nowhere to turn to get any food.
New York’s worst and New York’s dumbest working in tandem
Possibly from July 30,’14 – raid on illegal vendors in Washington Heights.
Why is this “breaking news??”
I saw this on social media more than a week ago!!!
You can google the wash heights raid not the same… that one was specific against fruit carts and trucks not stores…
#4 you say good ok we see clear this officer showing to stop because this boxes are in the 4 feet measuring with hes eyes so this is the story they make a crackdown and the law (choose sedom) says you cant take this for hungry peoples because its not yours to be able to give it away its horrible to see this video and what they do with this great fresh food
