In Ireland, when there is riots (especially in the North) the police use water cannons. Up to about 20/25 ft away you have no chance of staying standing, you will definitely be put to the ground. The only problem I have seen from experience is that usually this gets the people even more hyped up and then petrol bombs and what not are introduced. Another weapon the police use here is rubber bullets. It's not great for taking down a whole crowd. But usually when a few police officers just start shooting the crowd and a few people are brought down the rest of the crowd will start running. I find that rubber bullets keep the peace more so than water cannons. However its being known that rubber can kill.
