Military spouses across the US organize and march in support of Black Lives Matter

"I was screaming at the television," an African American Navy spouse told CNN, as she watched peaceful protesters running from military police and law enforcement officers who were advancing on them near the White House. Protestors were covering their ears with their hands and gripping their mouths as they tried to escape the acrid clouds of smoke and wafting pepper spray.

CNN Home Front interviewed 11 military spouses married to service members in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.

They are black, white and Hispanic men and women, spouses of both enlisted service members and the officer corps, some of them veterans themselves, many with biracial children, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect their spouses' careers and the personal safety of their families.

The spouses uniformly condemned the use of military force within the United States and described being stunned -- and horrified -- by the images from Lafayette Square.
