Talked to #JacobBlake uncle Justin Blake at a #Kenosha barbershop/community center today about his nephew’s health, the investigation into the shooting and the family’s plans to meet @JoeBiden Thursday
2/ Justin Blake said his nephew #JacobBlake was released from intensive care today but still hospitalized. Unclear if he’s permanently paralyzed. His uncle choked up talking about it: “With the tech we have and his fervor, I believe before I pass away, I will see him walk again.”
3/Blake said officials have not been “transparent” or “forthright” with the family, and called on them to resume daily public updates about the case. “Don’t hide,” he said. Updated story posting soon @latimes
4/ FYI Blake’s pendant is a tribute to his support for #Africaunite
5/ outside the #Kenosha barbershop where I met #JacobBlake uncle
