Humans, emotively speaking, can only conceptualize discretely up to the number 150 or so.
So when they're told over and over and over, that one singular man was killed for resisting arrest while tweaking high as a kite, to them, that's 1/150, it occupies one of their precious few numbers. From there, just expand logically, 1/150 = 2,000,000/300,000,000. So clearly 2 million people die to cops each year. Of course, they ALSO can't fathom big numbers like "million", that is well beyond 150, but just know that it's a whole super duper lot of them.
Such is the effect of "thinking" with emotions instead of rational thought.
It's the effect of a carefully and purposefully constructed hyperreality created by media companies.
