Homeless displaced again as City destroys tent city

Today, December 20, 2014, the City of Rochester, NY destroyed Sanctuary Village. This was the last stop for people with no place to go. Tents, sleeping bags, tarps, and, personal items were bulldozed into a dumpster. No city official present, including the RPD, would take responsibility for this atrocity, five days before Christmas.

Sanctuary Village is a homeless tent city safe haven and a visible protest of Monroe County's and Rochester, New York's (anti) housing & homeless policies. 

This is raw footage of the destruction. Figureheads for the city have been named if possible. This is part 1.
