Nice statistic, but killings by police are 28 per million in the states versus 1.3 in Germany/France:

That's total deaths caused by police. It would obviously be higher in the US because the criminals are more likely to have and use guns, policemen in the US just can't afford the peaceful approaches most policemen in Europe can. That doesn't mean they get away with more.
