One piece of context you're losing is that the us population is not an equal distribution across all cities and police involved shootings occur more often in larger communities. You'd need to check the population subsets for the demographics of those communities to figure out if there is significance.

Black/African Americans are 4.5 times more likely to have a fatal encounter with the police than Asian Americans. by HitchHux
