He’s a radlib at best, but that’s not really a fair summary of his comments. He said many cops come from the working class (true), and that being a cop is one of the few steady, good-paying jobs readily open to the working class (also true). This was part of a larger discussion on why the working class is not uniformly on board with police abolition.

There are plenty of other points to be made in that discussion, but “this has an economic angle for the working class” is a fair one to mention.
