A BG who's willing to kill a cop is arguably more dangerous than the average BG and deserves a heightened response....

Not necessarily so. You often get similar over responses to other types of events involving cops, though maybe not from other agencies. For example, if I call 911 for an intruder in my home, I might get more than one unit to respond to my home, maybe not. If a cop calls 911 and identifies himself and says officer needs assistance, every free cop for miles will respond.
If I get t-boned in an intersection and call 911, a cop will come and if s/he determines more help is needed, the s/he will radio for further assistance. If a cop gets t-boned in an intersection, every free cop for miles around will respond.
I don't think it is right or fair, but it does appear to be a perq of the job.
