Later in the linked article Gwin is quoted as saying he's sorry for what he did and it ws the result of a harsh reaction in the heat of the moment. He seems genuinely apologetic.
That doesn't justify his behavior of course, but it goes a long way to understanding the situation better; he tried to help and lashed out in frustration when it didn't work.
The real focus should be on the total failure of the city (and the US in general) to deal with the rise in homelessness.
