It's just "intentional line-of-duty" killings not every killing. It also states that there is a great deal of evidence to support the idea that incidents of this nature decrease after departments reach "critical mass" (enough black officers to have their voices heard).
The data set comprises every single confirmed use of deadly force by police officers.

The original data set is, but the data set considered in the experiment was specifically those that were line of duty

Meaning that the only police killings which were left out were those deemed accidental (e.g. being run over during a police chase), or those committed by cops who were off-duty at the time. Seems fair.
