If you exclude 9/11, it's got to be a lot higher. Killings by police are constant, whereas terror attacks are spiky. Like, in the past 10 years, what percentage of days included at least one killing by the police, vs. killing by terrorists.
The "eight times" statement is just referring to causalities over a time period, which I think end up over-representing the true danger from terrorists. The businessinsider link does a pretty good job to addressing that point.
