I have a habit of doing that.

Look, I don't want to get assaulted any more than the next guy (although if you're chosing someone to assault, I'd rather you chose the next guy), but I don't see why we need a special law making it "extra illegal" to assault me while I've got my uniform on.
I would assume that the reason is because of what an official does - enforce rules.

One should not get beaten, ever, period - no one. But it seems even more pertinent to not get beaten for performing the task of enforcing rules - similar to the tasks of a police officer, or a judge. I would say there is, or definitely should be a kinship.
