US police kill very many more people than other first world police forces. It's not surprising that gets a lot of press coverage.
The US police forces seem to do a poor job of getting rid of the bad officers. Someone who is sacked from one force for being emotionally unstable should not be able to get a job with a gun on another force without jumping through considerable hoops. There are very many examples of this - officers with more than normal numbers of complaints for aggressive behaviour, with disciplinary action for aggressive behaviour, who then go on to murder the public.
