If you don't mind, I'd like to restate what you said.
I see no reason that the penalty for killing anyone should be less than execution.
My first thought too, are we second class or third class citizens?
I can, if the murder is first degree. A cop is a representative of the state, an institution charged with keeping evil doers from harming the innocent.
The murder of an LEO because of their position is an affront to social order.
I also think all human beings are made in the image of God. Any first degree murder ought to be subject to the death penalty.
I am just saying that with an LEO there is an additional reason to pursue such a penalty.
