Riot control

Riot Control is a way to stop people from being upset and naughty in a big group. If lots of people get very angry and loud together, it can be dangerous for everyone around. So, there are special police called the Riot Police that are trained to handle it.

They wear helmets, shields, and heavy clothing to protect themselves. Sometimes, they also carry things like batons, tear gas, or rubber bullets to help control the crowd.

When a group of people start getting too aggressive, the Riot Police will step in and try to calm everyone down. They use their shields to make a wall and push the angry people back. If that doesn't work, they might use their batons to hit the ground and make loud noises to scare people. If things get really bad, they could use tear gas to make people cough and cry, which helps calm them down.

The Riot Police don't want to hurt anyone, but they need to keep calm and protect everyone around when there's a big angry crowd. So, they use these special tools to help control the situation and stop people from getting hurt or doing damage.
