Earlier this month in Baton Rouge and Dallas, police officers were fatally shot. The shooters in each situation were military veterans. 

Gavin Long, the shooter in Louisiana, was a data network specialist in the Marines and served in Iraq before being discharged as a sergeant in 2010.

Micah Johnson of Dallas was an Army reservist working in carpentry and masonry who was deployed to Afghanistan once in 2013. He was still a member of the Individual Ready Reserves when he was killed by police after the shooting incident. 

These tragedies have created an unusual tension between law enforcement and the military - groups which have traditionally shared a close bond.

It's a situation AP writer Julie Watson has been writing about. She joined Alex Cohen to talk about it.
