I legit don't even know what I'm supposed to take away from this... like cops and murders are as likely to get you in Mexico and Columbia?

no, police killings are per 10m and homicide rates are per 100k

meaning that homicides are 100 times higher than police killings.

My takeaway. There is correlation between the general public homicide rate in a country and police killings.

Also, the US stands out in comparison to European countries in both general public homicides and police killings. Mexico cartels putting US homicide rates to shame though.

I am ignoring Luxemburg and Cambodia as I don't feel they really fit in with the rest of the countries on this list.
