It seems that you fail to realise that you are making just as much of a claim as I am.
I'm saying that if one were to attack a member of the police, expect a stiffer sentence - this is the accepted norm.
You're saying that if one were to attack a member of the police, then you are sentenced the same - this goes against common understanding.
The burden is actually on you to prove your case, as extradordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
You absolutely cannot prove your stance, because its pure fantasy and exists mainly within the confines of your mind.
C'mon Chris, everyone knows that if you attack the police, then its interpreted (by the system) as an attack on the system, and sentences are handed out as such.
As for the single link I provided, that case could've easily been interpreted as attempted murder, conspiracy to murder, etc. If you didn't realise, air pistols can kill too.
Here's another example, this time of a random killing (not involving police) and a lenient sentence:

Now, I ask you this: If Mohammed Ibrahim had run over a policeman, do you think the sentence (or lack of) would've been the same ?
