I don’t think that assaulting/murdering a police officer or any other government official should be treated as any different than if you did so to anyone else.

We’re all human. And there are plenty of people out there who are better human beings than the average police officer.

There is no reason they deserve more legal protection than anybody else. Particularly if they were not on-duty.

They risk their lives often. But that’s their job. And, in case you didn’t know, there’s a million people that want that job. Can you imagine how nice it must be to harass and belittle people all day? Now that’s the life.

Bottom line, being a government official and/or a police officer in particular should not mean your life is more valuable and therefore your assault/murder should be punished more severely.

P.S. I think that when officers commit crimes, they should be punished more severely than regular people. They took oathes that they then broke.
