Gallery owner Collier Gwin in San Francisco police custody for spraying homeless woman with hoseGallery owner Collier Gwin was taken into police custody Wednesday after the San Francisco DA's Office issued an arrest warrant for misdemeanor battery in connection with him spraying an unhoused woman with a hose last week. SFPD SFDAOffice Rightfully so. Now please do the guy that KPIX showed trying to kick in the door of the house in the Marina district on this morning’s news. What he did terrible but not worth jail time in my POV. This incident has garnered so much publicity tho that it should rightly shame LondonBreed sfbos sfgov as it highlights homeless crisis in our city. I hope Federal govt looks in to how they spend the Fed $ given to SF. City makes billions off the misery of the homeless. All these enabling programs (non profits which are actually very profitable) set up to help these ppl. All for more Fed $ but crisis worse, not better! Not sure why local media not doing major expose on city. Being paid not to?

Arrest warrant issued for SF gallery owner filmed spraying unhoused person with hose, DA saysBREAKING The San Francisco District's Attorney's Office on Wednesday issued an arrest warrant for Collier Gwin, the art gallery owner who was filmed hosing down an unhoused person last week. “Unhoused” have free reign over the city. Got it. This is going to set a president where you can't do anything if someone decides to use your business as a house. If I was him, I would sue the city for ignoring this issue, and costing my business money. Glad to see this. I pray he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. No one should so cavalierly assault another human being, and in such a heinous way.
