It's going to take a miracle for him to ever walk again. That from the lawyers for the family of Wisconsin man Jacob Blake, shot seven times at close range by police, as he opened the door of his car where his three young sons were waiting for him.

The shooting has sparked violent protests across the state with Jacob Blake's family fearing the 29-year-old, who was unarmed, might now be permanently paralysed.
