In the US, UK, and Germany, who wields the guns used to kill police? What, if anything, do those people have in common other than wielding a gun? Are the commonalities cross cultural?

There are countless ways to reduce homicide rates across countries -- it's very important not to take a monocausal view of the matter. Expanding social insurance, increasing a country's average life expectancy, raising taxes on alcohol, making the country more gender equal, and making the number of men as equal to the number of women as possible have all been shown to be correlated with reduced homicides of all descriptions.
The single most significant policy for reducing homicides that the U.S. has not instituted that the rest of the advanced world has, however, is gun control. Thank you for your excellent question.
The Wicker Man, who coincidentally, was a police constable.
I see people above needing more laws passed; more programs established. That's because it has become unfashionable, even abusive, to hold people responsible for their actions. Empathy for another has been replaced by woke standards of judgment. And, only Government can/will make things better. Yeah, right.
The Robin Hardy version is morally ambiguous, but I sided with the Edward Woodward character even if he did have a stick up his ass. He was trying to solve a murder, for God's sake.

In all parties, reduce impulsiveness and build trust. Also, end "war on drugs."
Also, create heaven on earth and arbitrarily assign blame for failures to a scapegoat who will be sacrificed annually.

Frankly, I prefer Neil LaBute's overtly satirical 2006 remake to the original. NOT THE BEES! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5pkjg5_RH8

I think more people are killed by cars than guns, so one would think more advanced car control would reduce homicides more effectively.
Another measure which would reduced world-wide homicide tremendously would be disarming the U.S. Federal government.
