That study finds that many times the coroner's report is filled out such that the death is not properly classified as being due to the police so the number of deaths caused by the police may be twice what is reported. The strongest interpretation I can make of this is that if all those misreportings were coverups for murder, then the police would be being held accountable for less than half of the people they killed. However, the study indicates that the problem is largely due to untrained coroners and complex reporting procedures, which doesn't suggest a massive coverup, and I don't think we can assume they all represent murders the police got away with. It doesn't really say anything about how many unjustified deaths occurred vs. how many were justified, and it's specific to deaths as opposed to harassment or corruption or what have you, so I can't say it really convinces me that police are generally not held accountable for their actions.
