The City of Angels has too many ‘Diablos’
Michael Angel Alvarez, known as 'Diablo,' was arrested for possessing military-grade armor while serving as a 'Peace Ambassador' in Los Angeles. This incident raises concerns about the effectiveness of the program initiated by Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, which aims to replace police with community members.
