What is the general sentence for assaulting a police officer?

The penalties for assaulting a police officer are as follows:

He will be detained for more than five days and less than ten days, and may also be fined up to 500 yuan. If the circumstances are especially serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or a fine. If assaulting a police officer causes serious injury to the police, he shall be given a heavier punishment according to the degree of injury and the crime of intentional injury.

The crime of assaulting a police officer can be roughly divided into two modes. The first mode is common law countries, which adopt independent charges and have independent laws to punish related acts. Second, civil law countries, because of the emphasis on punishing joint behavior, adopt a non-independent crime model; In France, Germany and Italy, assaulting a police officer is defined as the crime of obstructing official duties, with different sentencing degrees. In Japan, the crime of assaulting a police officer is divided into two parts. If the circumstances are minor, it shall be regarded as "obstruction of official duties". Whoever causes serious injury or death shall be punished as intentional homicide or intentional injury, and the maximum penalty shall be death.

China's laws and regulations will also comprehensively regulate citizens' behavior. If there is an attack on the people's police, the parties concerned will also be investigated for criminal responsibility. However, because there is no crime of assaulting a police officer in the previous stage in China, the parties concerned will be punished for obstructing their official duties after assaulting a police officer, and they will be punished according to the circumstances and consequences of assaulting a police officer.
