Jacob’s dad said in an interview that his son now has “eight holes” in his body and is paralyzed from the waist down, though doctors don’t know if the paralysis will be permanent. His father also was just was just as enraged an confused as most of us were after watching the viral video of the shooting. Jacobs dad said,
“What justified all those shots?” his father said. “What justified doing that in front of my grandsons? What are we doing?”
In the cellphone video of the incident you can see Jacob Blake walking around and opening up his car door before being shot in the back by police.
