I don't understand what this detail has to do with the story.

Context. The writer is establishing him as somebody who's no stranger to protesting racial injustice before going on to tell about his current experience doing so. It's not strictly necessary, no, but it's a nice bit of added background that paints the guy as an actual person instead of another injury statistic.

What does that mean?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid

Apartheid was a system of institutionalised racial segregation that existed in South Africa and South West Africa from 1948 until the early 1990s. Apartheid was characterised by an authoritarian political culture based on baasskap (or white supremacy), which ensured that South Africa was dominated politically, socially, and economically by the nation's minoritywhite population.

So Apartheid style means... the march featured forced segregation with minorities given the highest status?

The actual quote specifies apartheid-style murders of black people, of which the obvious interpretation would be "murders of black people similar to those I saw during Apartheid." That's really not something you should have to consult Wikipedia to figure out.

So the government is both doing a good job and abusing their power? If he approves of what the country has accomplished why is he protesting it?

Because generally doing a good job doesn't mean it's not failing horribly in this particular aspect. Protesting aims to improve the country by fixing a perceived flaw. It doesn't mean you hate the country as a whole.

From what? Nothing in the story mentions anything about sustaining potentially fatal injuries.

One o which was ruptured and led me to almost bleeding out on the streets of Los Angeles.

And that's ignoring the fact that the potential for bleeding out through a ruptured testicle is extremely obvious to anyone that understands how large of a wound that is.

Come on dude, you shouldn't have to try this hard to seem smarter than Duckbear, and you especially shouldn't be failing so hard to do so.
