The War Is Home: On the Shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge

from Democracy in Color with Steve Phillips · host Democracy in Color

Before opening fire on police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, shooters Micah Johnson and Gaving Long served in the U.S. military. We cannot overlook the importance of their shared experience. Their military service is not a tangential issue; it is the issue. In this personal essay, Aimee offers her thoughts on the police shootings, and recounts her journey as an Army medic and direct witness to the moral injury and damage inflicted on our military personnel who have been dispatched to war.
