Actually targeting civilian officials of the government (and their loved ones) is a very effective way of damaging morale within the administration. Who is going to go to work at the elementary school or the post office for some craptastic salary if it might get them killed? As a side effect, by crippling its ability to provide services, you prevent the regime from generating popular support.
After all, most people will go along with any old government so long as the services they expect are delivered. In order to bring fence-sitters onto the side of the insurrection, you have to cut the ties that bind them to the police state.
