I am sure he thinks he has a point in their somewhere. But, here is the thing when black people march and protest they are not protesting just for their rights they are there for everyone (even if that is not the intent). When white people protest and march for civil rights they are not just protesting and marching for white people.

The police being out of control is a problem for everyone. It is a bigger problem for minorities especially young black males, it's a problem for poor people, for people who are mentally ill, and for anyone who speaks out against TPTB.
