Biden Speaks With Jacob Blake In Kenosha

WASHINGTON (AP) – Former Vice President Joe Biden has spoken with Jacob Blake on the phone for 15 minutes during a visit to Wisconsin. Blake is a Black man whose shooting by a white Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officer last week led to days of protests and violence. Biden says Blake “talked about how nothing was going to defeat him, about how whether he walked again or not, he was not going to give up.” Blake’s family members have said he is paralyzed from the waist down after being shot seven times. The shooting remains under investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
