Also not trying to debate one way or the other, but I'd be interested to see those statistics extrapolated over multiple years so we could see what it looks like when you scale for population size. You obviously can't scale when some of the countries are zero (unless, like iceland, they just never have police related deaths).

When population is accounted for with the german total, the US has only about 4x the population of germany, but about 57 times as many police shootings.
