Maybe.
And maybe some of the progressives that see it will look up the movement, see their goals, and find a way to help. The people like you who refuse to do any research and find out what they are really protesting, the people who could possibly say something as short-sighted as "calling the police in the UK racist and the usual nonsense BLM spouts" aren't the targets. You weren't going to give them a serious thought anyways.
The goal is simple, to not fear getting shot by police because I'm black. As a person who has had a service weapon pulled on him because I didn't ask permission to reach into my glovebox for my insurance card during a traffic stop, I'd say you can fucking get over being inconvenienced on a motorway, or join in to make it stop so you won't be inconvenienced any more.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
