Where's the Line Between the Military & Police? | It's The Democracy, Stupid with Edwin Eisendrath & Investigative Reporter Radley Balko

This country has always had a firewall between the military and domestic policing. In the Trump era, that's quickly eroding.

Throughout history, civilizations as far back as the Roman Republic understood that there is military to keep foreign enemies at bay and a domestic force that keeps the peace and protects our rights. However, that’s rapidly changed in our own country in recent years.

Radley Balko, author of The Watch on Substack, is an award-winning investigative reporter formerly with The Washington Post. He’s written extensively lines blurring between the military and police. He joined Edwin Eisendrath on It’s The Democracy, Stupid to talk through these issues.
