Sergeant Melissa Ruch of the West Penn Township Police Department is recovering from her injuries this morning after she was reportedly attacked by a motorist after she stopped to assist a disabled vehicle.

Apparently, this thug first slashed Sergeant Ruch’s shirt and then threw her over a guardrail during the attack:

Sergeant Ruch was then airlifted to the hospital:

A PennSTAR helicopter landed on a field at the intersection of SR309 and SR895 to transport officer Ruch to Lehigh Valley at Cedar Crest.

More from WNEP:

“Her shirt is like sliced from–we don’t know what it’s sliced yet from,” said Trooper David Boehm. “The person that we’re looking for is a Hispanic male, 6’2″ to 6’4″, 240 to 260 pounds. He was wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans, the kind that go way down below your knees and possibly in a dark colored Nissan Maxima.”

As of this morning, the manhunt continues:

Female cops.

How’s that workin’ out?

Sorta like female infantrymen? Er... infantrywomen?

All of these hazardous occupations are great for women, until there’s an actual hazard.

Hate on me if you want, but I believe women should be offered at least a modicum of protection. And putting them in harm’s way is not very protective.

I do not know what is in the hearts of other Caucasians. I sometimes wistfully hope that some thug tries to attack me simply because all lives matter.....except the thug who tries to attack.

Don’t forget to thank Obama/Holder/Sharpton for setting race into a war.

Closer ever closer comes the Social War. It has to be as whites we cannot live in peace and harmony with the black. These assaults by blacks on police are occurring weekly. There are riots and constant black cries for taxpayer money and taxpayer supported “Programs.”

I saw one report where they said the man was a “tanned” white man.

Why are there female cops? Not enough men to fill these jobs? /s

Would YOU want a female cop to show up during YOUR crisis? HELLLLL NO.

I agree with you, not to mention the insane ‘cops who are moms’ for so egregiously risking their lives while “RAISING (NOT)” their children.

Hispanics can be of any race. There are black Hispanics and white Hispanics and mixed.

They are going to have to begin putting two cops into every vehicle and not sending them out alone anymore. This will cut way way back on response time but it is necessary

That though occurred to me as well. Possible, but statistically unlikely.

There are a few other inconsistencies that are statistically unlikely as well. Being PC requires one to ignore statistics and personal experience.

What is politically correct can be assumed not to be factually correct—otherwise they wouldn’t have to modify the word “correct.” - Thomas Sowell

Political correctness (which more than anything else is the denial of reality) will die a richly deserved death when it finally comes face to face with harsh reality.

The next country to dominate the world will be the one that jettisons PC and establishes a reality based culture.

Think that’s funnny? They’re pushing to put young ladies in combat. Fast way to lose wars.
