Video shows NYU pro-Palestinian encampment tents being crushed by garbage truck

A video has captured sanitation workers in New York City tossing tents and other items seized from a pro-Palestinian encampment at New York University into a garbage truck. 

One by one, tents that the protesters were using are seen being crushed by the garbage truck as NYPD officers stood watch. 

Many of the tents had messages on them. One orange tent had the words “Free Palestine” written on its side. 

“Does this make you happy to do? Does this bring you f------ joy in the morning?” an anti-Israel protester is heard telling one of the officers before being told to leave the area. 

“If we were trespassing you would have already arrested us you stupid f---,” the protester responds.
