Thats right the mother Julia Jackson said after driving through this town in seeing all of the damage and firefighters say they responded to 37 separate fires overnight and that whole blocks have been leveled literally dozens of businesses vanished overnight imagist one of 2 nights she said in driving in here to hold this News Conference. She was struck by the fact that jacob lake would have been displeased had he seen this would not have been what he wanted to be remembered for a number of family members spoke here the father also called jacob blake said police shot his son 7 times like he didnt matter but he said his son did matter and at one point as one of the lawyers was talking about the psychological damage that would be suffered by the 3 boys who were inside that car as he was climbing in and shot in the back he said those kids will have psychological damage for the rest of their lives the father broke down and actually had to be walked out one of jacob lake sisters said shes all cried out she hasnt she hasnt cried about this incident because shes cried about so many before and she told people she said i dont want your pity i want change and those are the messages that we heard from the family of jacob blake and in this 1st appearance here with the whole family and the attorneys talking about what had happened to him and they gave us a little news about his condition they said as of an hour or so ago while that News Conference was going on they said he was undergoing surgery not the last or. He would undergo that his spinal cord had been severed that they had to take out his colon and much of his small intestines because of the damage there they said that he had multiple wounds in his stomach and in his arms and that he would require extensive operations in the future and that even with that he would probably suffer lasting damage and that includes the paralysis from the waist down so theyre very concerned about him for his future theyre glad he survived but they said his life will be forever changed and and john that the family also speaking while the lawyers for the family said that they. They want the rest of the officers that shot jacob blake and others on the scene who were also involved loss of their Legal Options now. Well one of the they can file a civil suit they can file they can seek criminal changes in thats what they want they want the officers to be charged with crimes they want them not just to be temporarily removed from their jobs but they want them to suffer criminal consequences they can also seek legal damages as well their bent their lawyer Benjamin Crump talked about what he called the deliberate indifference of that shooting thats a legal term i expect well be hearing in court the lawyers talk about how young he was that is likely to be part of the financial damages the court will be seeking theyre going to be asking for more money because he had a long life ahead of him so were likely to see some criminal charges were likely to see who were likely to see a pursuit of criminal charges by the family whether or not prosecutors take those up we dont know but the family is likely also to pursue civil charges is well and they gave us some highlights of the reasons they would be doing that one of them would just be the young age of jacob blake and the fact that he had 3 young sons in the car who would be traumatized and a broader family all of them affected by this incident thank you very much for can i show its constant john hendren.
