Jacob Blake Learning To Walk Again Following Police Shooting

Blake was paralyzed after being shot in the back seven times by a Kenosha, Wisconsin police officer in August 2020.

A Black man who was left paralyzed from the waist down after he was shot in the back by a white police officer in Wisconsin expects to be walking soon, an accomplishment he says is tempered by fears of it happening again. Jacob Blake Jr. was shot seven times by a Kenosha police officer in August 2020, three months after George Floyd was killed by police in Minnesota.  Blake's shooting set off days of violent protests in the city of about 100,000 people located midway between Chicago and Milwaukee.
