US law enforcement kill over 1000 people every year, way more than any comparable country [1]. The raw data of incidents on Wikipedia has to be broken down by month [2]. And here's a chart showing the number has been going up basically every year for at least a decade [3].

What "historic lows" are you talking about?

OP is saying that this is a historical low for US, not in the grand scheme of things.
