I love to think that next time I go on a peaceful war protest that this ominous beast will be there to increase tensions and hostility. Even more than the usual full armored beasts with guns and batons riding on horses.

But imagine its potential against non-peaceful protestors?

I would only say it is reasonable in the most extreme cases like the London riots, but I do not trust my government to not use this in places were civil crowds are incited towards fear and loathing because of the governments  show of power and control.
