Yes, there are several tactics that can be employed to disperse a violent protest. Provide a strong show of police presence and speak to the protesters calmly while making it clear that the march is no longer welcome. Set up physical barriers between the protesters and the city center if possible or implement a ban on further demonstrations. Finally, consider introducing laws or enacting regulations against certain elements of the protests such as incitement to violence or property damage.

Yes, there are several ways to try and remove protesters without escalating the situation. First, try negotiating with the organizers of the march in order to end it. If that fails, then other peaceful methods such as declaring a citywide curfew can be enforced in order to minimize clashes between officers and protesters. Additionally, setting up barriers between officers and marchers can help separate them and potentially reduce the chance of any physical altercations from taking place. Finally, avoid using force until absolutely necessary - this includes weapons or chemical agents like tear gas - as this could further enflame an already tense situation.
