Update: Scott Olsen has reportedly regained consciousness

News sources are reporting that Iraq veteran, Scott Olsen, injured in an Oakland police raid earlier this week, has regained consciousness in recovering from a skull fracture. The former Marine sergeant had joined demonstrators at the Occupy Oakland site when he was struck in the head by a projectile, thought to be a tear-gas canister, wielded by the Oakland police. Though conscious, Olsen at the moment “‘cannot talk.’”
