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.

I'd guess that if the y axis was changed to 10M instead of 0.1M, it would flatten the graph by a factor of 100. So then the graph would look more or less like a straight line as far as our eyes could tell.
