> The people still in the streets have other agendas
Here is that agenda, also known as the 5 demands:
1. Kill the extradition bill. Done.
2. Retract use of the word “riot” to classify the protests.
3. Release and drop charges for protesters who have been arrested.
4. An inquiry into the widespread, well documented police brutality.
5. Universal suffrage.
In other words, they want their right to peacefully protest & vote for their leaders. To claim they have such rights already would be to ignore their words and their plight entirely.
