This might not be a coincidence. Police shooting people without due process isn't an ethical system of justice, but it could be an effective way to decrease the homicide rate. In many places, the most powerful gang can only be matched or beaten by the government. And if the most powerful gang is too difficult to deter from murdering people by using due process, having cops kill them would probably reduce the overall homicide rate (even if you tally the police killings as homicides).

When the police shoots people without process on purpose, then they are just the most powerful gang.

  I don't disagree with this. But sometimes one gang is better than another when it comes to minimizing homicides.

  Police are supposed to be the most powerful gang, the one which is paid by your taxes to protect you from any criminal activity and eliminate any competition.
