U.S-Jacob Blake handcuffed to hospital bed, father says

The father of Jacob Blake, the Black man shot many times by a Wisconsin police officer on Sunday, said his son was handcuffed to his hospital bed when he left to visit him on Wednesday.

“I hate it that he was laying in that bed with the handcuff onto the bed,” said Jacob Blake Sr., according to the Chicago Sun-Times. “He can’t go anywhere. Why do you have him cuffed to the bed?”

Blake was shot by a Kenosha police officer who was responding to a reported domestic dispute. The shooting has left the 29-year-old paralyzed from the waist down, his family said.
