I'm not saying value them less - Just if a law abiding citizen, going about their day, with a wife and children, gets stabbed and killed for the £40.00 in their wallet, and a cellphone....
Why should the fact its a policeman mean that the person gets more time?

That's a valid point, but then the average law abiding citizen probably doesn't face the scum of society on a daily basis armed with just a stick.
The same goes for ambulance workers and firemen, as a rule they come to clean up the mess. They're not usually the ones who have to go in first and face the danger.
