Jacob Blake, a black man who was shot several times by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, issued a statement from his hospital bed.

“I just want to say, man, to all the young cats out there, and even the older ones older than me, it’s a lot more life to live out here, man. Your life and not only just your life, your legs, something that you need to move around and move forward in life, can be taken from you like this, man,” he said while snapping his fingers in an expletive-laden video.
