Not that it is not worrying that peaceful protesters are arrested but but 2 months are just roughly 4 times two weeks while Hong Kong's population (7.35 million) is just 1/45th of the US population (333 million).
I think it would be more accurate to look at the size of the protests, because not the entire population is out protesting.
