Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old Black man who was shot by police in Wisconsin last month, spoke from his hospital bed about the pain of recovery and his hope for the future in a video posted to Twitter by his attorney on Saturday.
"I just want to say, man, to all the young cats out there and even the older ones, older than me, there's a lot more life to live out here, man.
