The part about 8:46 also being his time of birth, uhhh...OK? I guess that's a weird coincidence. I dont know how the two things are really related or how its supposed to be some incredible collision events that makes me gasp in shock. Or 8/24 being his birthday and Kobe's numbers. Our friend Dave may need to lay off the weed a little bit.
Speaking of Kobe, the whole way he tries to use Kobe's last game as a way to make him get over the Dallas massacre is bizarre. I dont get it, I mean I do get it that he's using other things to cope with hard realities but I dont get how it squares with the rest of his dialogue. You cant preach to us the sanctity of human life for twenty-five minutes and then immediately turn around and say "I know those nine cops died, but at least Kobe scored sixty in his last game!". If he's got that kind of contempt for police officers that he cant even summon sympathy for their deaths then he should understand as well as anyone why cops have such little sympathy for criminals.
He's so outraged at the callousness and indifference of police officers but the close out his monologue he exposes the exact same mentality with the juxtaposition of Kobe's Laker farewell and the Dallas massacre.
Its really weak. But I dont think he scripted to the be that way, he's one of the few public figures I trust. Its just bad, emotional thoughts.
It's also not factual: Kobe's game was in April while the shooting took place during that summer.
Plus Laura Ingram made that comment after that game. It was still a very powerful and moving set.
