Read IVAW’s initial call for support shortly after the incident occurred: TAKE ACTION: IRAQ VET CRITICALLY INJURED BY POLICE AT OCCUPY OAKLAND
Update 10/27 9pm EST: According to sources Scott Olsen is awake and able to write, but cannot speak. Due to conflicting reports we are unsure whether doctors confirmed he does not need brain surgery or if they are “optimistic” that he does not need brain surgery.
