In some states, there already are "hate crime" laws that apply to law enforcement, so to speak. In PA, for example, a simple assault against a law enforcement officer is automatically upgraded to an aggravated assault, and therefore a felony. This law, however, is not exclusive to cops; it also applies to doctors, teachers, social workers, correctional officers, judges, security guards, nurses, any elected official, and many others.
