The young unarmed Black-American man identified as Jacob Blake who was shot multiple times by the police while resisting arrest, has broken his silence from his hospital bed. The man whose family said is paralysed from the waist down from the gunshot wounds he sustained, has told those who care to listen, that they should never to take life for granted.
According to the report by TMZ, the Jacob Blake video posted this weekend by Blake’s family attorney, Ben Crump, appeared to have been filmed by a friend of his named, Mike. It shows Jacob lying in his hospital bed and addressing the camera sharp, alert and precise with his words.
Jacob Blake said things we take for granted in life like walking, for instance, can be taken from you in a flash, and he wants all the young’ns and old cats who might be listening to take notice and take advantage.
He tells anybody who might not be living right to turn things around, as he assures them they don’t wanna end up like him, with unbearable pain, which he documents in great detail. He also addresses the African-American community at large and it’s pretty uplifting.
His first words to the world are inspirational ones, spreading nothing but positive vibes and advice. Jacob’s been through hell, but here he is preaching unity, gratitude and good deeds. No mention of the cop who shot him.
