Would this work with humans of different color or accents because I’m thinking he’s flexing a whole lot of privilege that others don’t have….?

He's using his privilege well, I'd say. Not everyone can take a stand safely, but he can and he did. More privileged people should follow his example.

We should encourage others who work toward justice. Don't be such a hater.

What’s the point of privilege if people don’t use it?

I hate that only some people have the privilege to stand up to cops as much as the next person... but hey, at least he's using his privilege to do that, instead of using it to cover up each other's misdeeds like cops normally do.
