A San Francisco resident who recorded the video says the officer drove off after unloading the man and his belongings. Neighbors say the man was causing trouble- as he seemed to be lighting something on fire, throwing rocks and undressing in a driveway.
Members of the San Francisco Police Department and San Francisco fire were then called to respond. They arrived about 35 minutes after the man was left by San Rafael PD."San Francisco is not a dumping ground," Chiu said. "It's disturbing to think that another jurisdiction would drop someone experiencing homelessness or mental health challenges in the middle of a residential neighborhood, with no services or resources around it. It doesn't make for a good outcome.
"We made a mistake," Lt. Scott Eberle said. "That is what we did, we dropped this subject off in San Francisco. That did cause resources that would not have been tied up in San Francisco." Eberle said he does not know why the officer chose to drop him off where he did. Neighbors who live in the area believe it's because it was convenient and close to the Golden Gate Bridge.
