Despicable
> "I didn't go out there to fight anyone," Carmignani told CBS. "I'm trying to get them down the road, go to the park."
Just bear-spraying the sidewalk
> Joe Alioto Veronese, an attorney who is close to Carmignani, said he viewed an image provided by a neighborhood group of a suspect in the earlier attacks on homeless people. He said the person was not Carmignani.
> “It doesn’t look anything like Don,” Alioto Veronese said. “It’s a whole different guy.”

The baseball cap and mask make identification uncertain, but it could certainly be him. That the police inspector preëmptively included the information in the case file suggests they already suspected him.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. These people weren't even damaging his property or impeding his way. What an absolute monster.
Yeah, well doesn't seem that way to anyone else.
Guess this is what it's become. At what point to do they cordon off San Francisco as a zone of abandonment and urban warfare now? Seems on par with South Central LA of the 80's, only that had less shit involved, literally and figuratively, just bullets.
I'm waiting for dramatization, Escape from San Francisco, starring a de-aged Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken. Maybe Elon Musk can airlift him out with spacex/tesla from Fremont.
It is certainly unjust that any innocent should die at the hands of a police officer, but it is not unexpected, that after 40 years of no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners gang warfare in the streets of every major metro and urb, that police have developed an itchy trigger finger when it comes to confrontations with the general public, who have typically been quite well-armed and combat-ready.
This is about the Fire chief bear-spraying homeless people

By definition

This statement doesn’t match reality
There’s no justification for police violence
It's not by accident that everyone in my immediate social circle carries a weapon of some kind now. The existential threat from both the state and other citizens grows daily.
It doesn't help that moderation is almost non-existent, aside from when VC's get put under blast, or when . Asking for sources for ridiculous comments (eg: Dropbox laid off people in order of performance) gets flagged, then removed, but off-topic humor in bad taste remains.

But breakdown of law, order and general societal cohesion invites this kind of behaviour. It's still the perpetrator's fault, but conditions are made so that these people are more likely to lash out.
