I don’t think the graph is showing the phenomenon that OP thinks it’s showing - there was a crime wave that started in 2020 which isn’t over yet, but things have gotten significantly better since 2022 and that’s the same internal when police killings went up, so the straightforward conclusion is that there has been more intensive policing in the last three years which is what has reversed the dramatic increase in the homicide rate.
I’m not sure I agree with your original assertion nor your conclusion, but it’s a fair argument! Intensive policing as the defense for this graph seems like a bit of a euphemism to me.
