No.
If you use spears or flamethrowers (each of which is pretty effective), then the riot police will just bring out guns.
So just cut to the chase and don’t give them the chance.
Maybe he's in Europe and not allowed guns.
Staff sling there was a nice post recently on them, dog catch poles. Good defensive methods, non lethal vs swat armored tyrants but still gets point across.
Do not any longer use non-lethal.
They want you to get a shot which will kill you. So they are using lethal measures.
Do not play childish games with this.
You could just run up on them, grab their shield, grab an ankle, disappear back into the crowd. Someone else grab a helmet, grab their baton, disaster back into the crowd. Send them back to the station naked and it doesn't require any weapon.
Force multiplier friend you and your mates hold a dog catch pole , 5 of you vs one man. Only used in self defense of course breaking up advancing storm trooper lines and such by holding them at bay and away before you get bludgeoned
On second thought bolas would probably be more effective from range less chance of you being beaten but allow you to minor retreat without losing a ton of ground at same time
