This isn't a traumatized person doing some hella healing, he's clearly doing apologia for the police, complete with talking points leveraged at critics and a posteriori justifications for the massacre, all disguised as a comedy monologue. You could extract those talking points and use them in a serious way if you wanted to justify police brutality and it wouldn't be out of place.
I've heard Ziziek say that tasteless and offensive jokes are a means of traumatized populations dealing with unthinkable atrocities.
If I liked Trevor Noah at all, I might be willing to massage my brain to the point where I could interpret this in that light. But I don't. Fuck him.
