One would expect the rate of police killings to be proportional to the homicide rate, since that is what is supposed to drive dangerous police encounters. Looking at police kills per 10M, divided by the homicide rate per 100k:
Australia: 9.55
Egypt: 8.45
USA: 6.75
Canada: 5.57
Sweden: 5.56
Norway: 4.04
Netherlands: 3.90
New Zealand: 2.86
Germany: 1.37
Japan: 0.77
England: 0.42
So 41% less than the rate of Australia, 21% more than Canada and Sweden, 67% more than Norway, and 73% more than the Netherlands. Not great, but not terrible.
