Nonprofit Worker Sprays Homeless Person with Water Hose in L.A.
A video showing a contractor for nonprofit organization Urban Alchemy spraying a sidewalk with water as a homeless person scrambles to collect belongings in L.A.'s Skid Row neighborhood has sparked outrage. Urban Alchemy confirmed the worker's firing and denounced the action as "unacceptable." Los Angeles leaders criticized the incident, questioning the $14 million in city funding received by the organization. The city's high homeless population and recent deaths have brought attention to the issue, with similar incidents captured on video in the past.
