While the number of attacks on police may not be going up, the 24 hour news cycle means that we are seeing more coverage of these incidents nationally instead of just locally. Since Thursday, there have been five different non-fatal attacks on police officers across the country. While we can be grateful that all the officers involved will recover, the attacks themselves show that a pattern of violence is continuing against law enforcement.

Last Thursday in Pennsylvania, Sergeant Melissa Ruch was attacked and then thrown over a guardrail when she stopped to help a disabled car.
