While it remains unclear by medical professionals if Blake will be paralyzed permanently, Ford is opening up about the mental health ramifications as a survivor.
In June, Ford was also part of a virtual town hall series to discuss the impact of racial injustice during the pandemic which was hosted by the Obama Foundation with appearances by former President Barack Obama, the late Rep. John Lewis and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, Bryan Stevenson.
Ford said that part of taking care of himself mentally is going to therapy, which he first started about a year ago after noticing how the coping strategies he had in place were no longer conducive to his needs.
"Seeing Black people die and mistreated is not humane ... this is not a video game. We are talking about people's lives," he told ABC News.

Step one: stop assaulting women Step two: stop brandishing guns and having people in bars Step three: stop resisting arrest and fighting police officers Step four: get a good agent & accountant because networks like ABC view you as a hero now - $$$
IIRC the_ironsheik has a signature coined phrase for this kinda thing. Something about backs and humility?
Kyle Rittenhouse drove to Wisconsin with a rifle and killed 2 Caucasian Americans prostesting Kenosha Police shooting Jacob Blake seven times in the back. Radical Right Terrorism kills Caucasian Americans as well. Don't forget White Nationalist terrorists killed Heather Heyer.

Here’s some advice for Jacob Blake: don’t rape anyone, don’t beat your kids, don’t attack cops, and don’t reach for weapons. Those 4 things are the secret to MY success and I know this system can work for others!
After all he was raping them with his fingers. And those still work
Meanwhile in Chicago.....
The Democratic Party has become the party of intolerance, censorship and Racism. Democrats have incited riots and promoted Marxist revolution, but offered NO protection to law abiding citizens. The country is waking to their evil and it has sealed their fate!

ABC, now do the stories about the people whose lives and businesses were ruined by BLM and ANTIFA. In fact, do a count of each side. Go ahead, or does that go against your narrative?
Just curious if Jacob Blake's sexual assault victim is going to have a good life.
Poor Jacob..it's gonna be harder to rape women from a wheelchair
God bless this man. Turning a tragic event in your life into a positive message to help others, takes true strength. Prayers for Leon.
He can't rape other women. I'm not sorry.
I'll get hammered for this, but you do realize that white unarmed people get shot by police too, and more often. You guys just don't make a fuss about it. I'm glad this fellow is making his life good, and I pray Jacob Blake also gets on the good road.
Did he rape someone as well and fight with police?
is the good life supposed to be before or after he goes to jail for sexual assault of a minor
I don’t know what kind of person you were before you got shot and paralyzed but I know what kind of person he is he’s a child abuser and he’s a domestic violence against his girlfriend and sexual assault against a 14-year-old little girl
he raped a woman. say it again folks...he👏raped👏a👏woman👏 now she has to sit and watch as the media, celebs, and sports stars lionize him, her rapist
Why did he run away from police?
HOW DARE YOU SYMPATHIZE WITH A MAN WHO SEXUALLY ASSAULTS WOMEN!! Oh my God what has the world come to when friggin ABC News gives aid/comfort to a man like Jacob Blake...a man with DOZENS of domestic violence charges, felonies involving fire arms and sexual assault? Shameful
....it’ll be harder for him to resist the police next time.

Well, he won't be able to rape children anymore. Remember, he still has a felony too.
