Well no, that's not really the point, at least in Denmark. A murder is a murder regardless of the victim, but the murder/attack on a police officer is an attack on the state (The police being the organisation through which the government exercises power, in some areas).

What happens if one hits a flower pot on the balcony with their elbow and it falls on a police officer's head... attack on the state or not?

That's hardly a murder, no?
