Jacob Blake's family call for calm after violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the man was shot seven times


The family of Jacob Blake, an American victim of a new police blunder Sunday in Kenosha (Wisconsin), spoke Tuesday in the United States.

"I am not sorry, I am not sad, I am angry" declared her sister who "shares her tears with all those to whom it has happened", recalling in her speech that we are talking about a " human life ”.

Strangled by emotion, the victim's father recounted how his grandsons asked him every day "why did the police shoot Daddy's back?" ".

Julia Jackson, his mother, called for calm and clarified that this violence does not “reflect who my son was, nor my family”.

"It would take a miracle for Jacob Blake Jr to work again," said his lawyer Ben Crump.
