When you take an immediate hard stance on defining a water spray as assault, it's hard to take you seriously.

They are using the legal definition of assault. The hose is a tool not much different than anything else that would extend your reach.

This woman has no change of clothes and no place to live. It is the middle of winter. It would be battery to spray her with a hose in the middle of July, but with one night of freezing weather it could be murder.

Freezing weather in San Francisco? What parallel universe do you hail from?

It was cold enough for the man spraying her to wear 3 layers of clothing while doing it.

A verbal threat is assault.
Touching a person against their will is battery.
Sounds like you dont like the long established legal definitions of these terms but I recommend not breaking these laws or you will go to jail too.
