10 Reasons Alex Villanueva is Dangerous

What's Next, Los Angeles? with Mike Bonin

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is LA’s top cop. He runs the largest county sheriff’s office in the United States and manages one of the world’s largest jail systems. With an annual budget of $3.6 billion dollars, the Sheriff oversees thousands of deputies who patrol California’s largest county, with a population of more than 10 million people.
And he is downright dangerous. He is threat to democracy and to public safety. Journalist Cerise Castle joins me this week to discuss "10 Reasons Alex Villanueva is Dangerous."
