The Guardian and Washington Post databases do list per million statistics by State.
It's also very easy to calculate the number yourself: 3 to 6+ per million in the US (depends on source) and you'll have a hard time finding a Western European country with even 1 per million.
Stats from Belgium would be interesting but I couldn't find any.
Also consider that England and Wales has a higher number of police per capita (~302) than the US (~284).
"In the first 24 days of 2015, police in the US [population 316 million] fatally shot more people than police did in England and Wales [population 56.9 million], combined, over the past 24 years."
The whole US justice and law enforcement system has serious issues. Look at the incarceration rate compared to the rest of the world, it's absurd.
