It is classed as a worse crime as the police officer is trying to protect the public. |

Well yes, that would be arson, or bombing,
The whole office is much worse than one person. |

The expectation is that an individual, having even a modicum of respect for the law (and its representatives) would think twice before assaulting a police officer. There is the sort of criminal that assaults the average citizen, but the criminal who would go so far as to assault a police officer is in a class all by himself. |

|
yes it is. assault on an officer is an automatic felony. assault on a citizen would depend on what you did to them. why would you want to assault an officer anyway, they're just there to help you. |
|

 |
Yes, because if you are charged with this it can be a felony arrest whereas assault on a regular person can be a misdemeanor.... |

Just go punch some regular person then go punch a police officer then when you get out of the hospital lock up unit come back and tell us if there's any difference? |

Absolutely..no question about it. In Many States & Cities, shooting a Police Officer, means a death penalty automatically applies. |

 |
Yes it is. Whether they are on or off duty.
It's usually an extra charge-
So is assault on a black person if you are white, a gay person if you are straight and anyone of a different religion.
The law is not unbiased- they provide extra assurances of safety to minorities as well as police officers.
So be careful who you assault- |
