Because they face the threat of death, violence, and ignorant people every day in order to protect the rest of us. And they are definitely NOT treated like gods, but just the opposite. Most of the general public dislikes them.

It should be such a horrible crime to kill anyone, not just a police officer. I'd like to know the answer to this one too!

very few questions... "armed"? both he became or became no longer. a police baton is a weapon. this weapon should be deadly if you're hit contained in the top with it. do widespread human beings in solid states of suggestions run round bare? television isn't actual existence, it ought to take quite a few seconds, even minutes for someone to provide up their movements from a gunshot. distinctive pictures should be fired in some seconds. you need to be shot and nevertheless kill someone with a weapon you're conserving. have you ever tried to subdue a guy wielding a baton? perchance a unadorned, likely sweaty guy? this makes me question your ability to be purpose, thank god you're not from now on on the jury. as if that wasn't adequate, have you ever stricken to ascertain what presented the police there that nighttime? how about some thing that ought to were stated or finished before the capturing. you only stay interior, watch your csi shows, and go away the policing to those individuals that artwork contained in the authentic international, a international finished of undesirable those who you may be too scared to address.

They say that it is because if you're capable of killing a police officer, you're capable of killing anyone, which I think it's absurd. I'm with you as far as the unfairness of putting this individuals who are no better than the rest of us (and some are quite corrupt, too). I have the same objection to the law putting children in a special status as well, and I don't buy the answer "The children cannot protect themselves" when the reality is that many adults cannot protect themselves, either.

Well, when you kill a police officer, you're taking a life no matter how you look at it. As with any murder, you're submitting that person's family in for a tough, sad life with the death of their loved one.
As for the 'gods' question, you must realize these are the people putting their lives on the line everyday to protect you as well as the rest of the community. They don't have to pick that job, yet they do it.

They typically make less money than a bartender or a truck driver and risk their lives on a daily basis. They are respected, not worshipped.
And it should be considered a "horrible crime" to kill anyone that is trying to help people.

Good question,
"Don't kill the police officer, go kill that other guy over there! Wait, he's an officer too, that one! YA! He's ok, go kill him."
Gimme a break, they should be treated as everyone else.

A human being is a human being. When the police save your sorry *** they are wonderful, but when they do their job, criminals don't like it. It's a HORRIBLE CRIME to kill anyone, loser, even you.

Part of it is the knowledge that if someone would kill a cop they probably wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone

Even if they are the most corrupt piece of crap about, it still flies in the face of respecting authority.
