Honestly the police are the ones keeping the movement alive by basically forcing the media to cover it.
If there were no police or insane counter protestors it would have been easy for the media to ignore. Like how many days in a row can you have a segment that's basically like "Let's go down the ground, yup protestors are still here.... back to you" before the audience gets bored
It's hard to say who's keeping it alive in reality. Media is covering it because they can make a culture war thing out of it. The police are there because the media is there. The counter-protestor are there because of the former culture war thing. Then the media is also there to get images of the chaos they fomented.
