"The medical diagnosis right now is that he is paralyzed," Blake's lawyer civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump said, adding,"It is going to take a miracle for Jacob Blake Jr to ever walk again."

"He is currently in surgery as we speak, still struggling to sustain his life and to hopefully become some resemblance of the man he once was," Crump added.

Blake's father accused the police of &nbsp;"senseless attempted murder" as his mother called for calm after two nights of violent protests.

"They shot my son seven times, like he didn't matter," Blake's father said, stating further,""But my son matters. He's a human being."

A video which surfaced later showed Blake shot at seven times by police. The incident comes as the "Black Lives Matter" movement has gathered momentum in the United States in the past few months after the killing of African-American George Floyd by a cop in Minneapolis who knelt on his neck leading to his death.

Meanwhile, demonstrations against police brutality erupted in Charlotte, North Carolina as police and protesters engaged in physical conflicts on Monday as reports claimed that some protesters received head injuries during the clash.

African-American Jacob Blake shot at by police paralyzed with shattered spine

&nbsp;

San Diego police has released a video of the fatal shooting of the unarmed black man,&nbsp;saying the decision was made to counter &quot;misinformation&quot; being circulated about the incident, AFP reported.

Alfred Olango, 30, was shot in the San Diego suburb of El Cajon on Tuesday. The police had received a call about a man behaving erratically and walking in the streets.

The grainy videos shows the victim being confronted by two police officers in the parking lot of the mall and then being shot as he pointed a cylindrical object at one of the officers.

The&nbsp;object pointed at the officer was a vape inhaler.

The deaths of black men at the hands of police have spurred protests across America, most recently last week in the North Carolina city of Charlotte. Protesters gathered on Wednesday against the shooting of Olango.&nbsp;Following the shooting, several people gathered at the scene Tuesday night chanting &quot;black lives matter&quot; and &quot;hands up, don&#39;t shoot,&quot; AFP reported. Olanga&#39;s sister also participated in the protest rally.

The deadly confrontation in El Cajon, a suburb of San Diego, has prompted daily street demonstrations that turned violent late Thursday, after protesters shut down streets and began throwing bottles and rocks at passing vehicles and smashing car windows.

&quot;Our goal today is to clarify and hopefully calm the community&#39;s concerns regarding the recent officer-involved shooting,&quot; police chief Jeff Davis told reporters on Friday as he released the video footage, AFP reported.

&quot;We believe it is essential to provide the community with as much information as we can at this point.&quot;

Local officials in El Cajon have vowed a thorough and transparent investigation and urged calm pending the outcome of the probe. &quot;This will be looked at by multiple sets of eyes, and not just ours,&quot; said.

Davis promised transparency in the investigation while the residents have called on the police to release the video footage of the incident.&nbsp;He said that the two officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave.

Olango&#39;s family had declined to watch the video earlier in the day, Davis said.

Olango&#39;s mother, Pamela Benge, said her son had had a breakdown after losing a friend but was not mentally ill.

&quot;Please protest peacefully,&quot; she said through tears at a press conference.

A series of deadly police encounters across the country in recent years have raised questions about the use of force by US law enforcement against African-Americans and other minorities.
