I don't mind these laws, to stiffen the penalties. But they don't act as a deterrent. Anyone who attacks an official most likely will not know about the law, and even if they did, such an attack is a spur of the moment thing - they are not thinking rationally anyway.

An attacker already knows they could face charges for assault. A stiffer penalty won't stop an attacker.
