Jacob Blake shooting: What will the long-term impact be?

On 23 August, Jacob Blake became another black American man to be shot by police in the United States.

The 29-year-old survived but his father revealed his son had been left paralysed from the waist down.

Three of Jacob’s sons witnessed the shooting and the family say they have been left traumatised.

What will be the lasting impact on their young minds? How might it shape their own future relationship with police officers? And will we see real change?

On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast with Noel Phillips, we are joined by Sky’s James Matthews and Andy George, Interim President of the National Black Police Association in the UK.

Warning: Contains some strong language and the sound of gunshots.
