Jacob Blake’s Father Rips Double-Standard: ‘My Son Got ICU and Paralyzed’ While White Kenosha Shooter ‘Got to Go Home’
‘Let’s make it very clear, my son is fighting for his life’
Jacob Blake Sr., the father of Jacob Blake — the Black man shot seven times by police in Kenosha, WI earlier this week — called out the racial double-standard of justice in the U.S. which has left his son paralyzed.
Appearing on CNN’s New Day Friday in his first televised interview, Blake Sr. opened by providing a dire update on his son’s condition.
“Let’s make it very clear, my son is fighting for his life,” Blake Sr. said. “He’s holding on. He’s holding on. He’s medicated pretty much all the time.”
