Because for many, their right-wing worldview is fundamentally tied to a belief that people get what they deserve. Because they believe in God, and God is just, so the world cannot be unfair. Because if rich people didn't earn their wealth, and poor people didn't earn their poverty, then wealth should be redistributed. And if people get what they deserve, then the victims of police brutality must have caused it or deserve it. That's why you see right wingers jumping through hoops to defend police and blame victims.
