"Deputy David Gallegioni filed a lawsuit last month alleging that he was struck in the head 'without provocation' by SFFD firefighters Eigil Qwist and Patrick Rabbitt at the North Beach Original Joe's location in October."
"When Gallegioni's wife told Qwist and Rabbitt not to interact with her daughter, the lawsuit alleges that one of the two firefighters said, 'Don't mess with us,' as he gestured to the group of firefighters he was with."
"The lawsuit said the men were wearing SFFD shirts and hats and called the gesture a 'show of authority and intimidation.'"
A fight between San Francisco firefighters and a Marin County sheriff's deputy at a bar has led to a lawsuit. Deputy David Gallegioni claims he was assaulted by firefighters Eigil Qwist and Patrick Rabbitt without provocation. The incident occurred after Gallegioni's daughter reported being sexually assaulted. The San Francisco City Attorney's Office is investigating, and Fire Chief Dean Crispen urged firefighters to cooperate. Qwist, a long-serving firefighter, was arrested months after the incident, which has raised concerns about authority and intimidation.
