The graph you are responding to clearly shows that murders are decreasing. The graph in OP also indicates this.
Your last point is only partially correct - the police state does grow every year, but the rate of increase is absolutely dependent on the administration.

Murder rate
- Merriam-Webster (emphasis mine)
Both police killings and murders are increasing, but police murders are increasing faster year over year than homicides are increasing.
Regardless of the administration, the US is increasingly a police state controlled by an oligarchy.
