The Use of Horses (or perhaps other large animals)
On a few occaisions I have witnessed the use of Mounted Police to effectively and peacefully break up large unruly crowds. The intimidation factor is significant, the horses can be trained not to step on people frreing the rider to focus on the mission at hand, only the most vile characters would try to hurt a horse, the mess left by the animals dissuades recongregation.
Downsides, cost of maintaining an adequate supply, mess left behind, and potential for something to go horribly wrong.
