San Francisco chief of police on Wednesday assured the public outraged over a gallery owner spraying a homeless woman with a hose that the incident is being investigated.
'I can't defend that,' says art gallery owner after outrage over spraying homeless woman with hose
SFPD Chief Bill Scott addressed the incident on Twitter Wednesday in addition to speaking to the press. He noted that the incident was being handled by the SFPD Investigations Bureau. The incident yesterday on Montgomery Street has been transferred to the SFPD Investigations Bureau. The process from here is to collect evidence, interview witnesses, develop the case, and present it to the District Attorney."I understand that there is frustration out there and there is an impulse to act. Right now, what we need is civility. If you are frustrated with a situation, please do not act on your anger," the thread on Twitter read.
Peskin, whose district includes the Jackson Square gallery, says the woman is getting treatment from the public health department."We're creating a tinderbox out there. People are incredibly frustrated with how things are playing out on our streets," said Wiener."And we have not done enough to expand shelter, to expand mental health beds. i know the mayor is working very hard to do that, but we have to do more and we have to do it faster.
