An Alternative to Tear Gas?

Every time there's some massive protest anywhere, we always see pictures and video in the news of all these people yelling and fighting and running away in a cloud of tear gas that makes the whole thing look like a big vicious riot with a heaping helping of government oppression. So why do they use tear gas then, when it makes everyone look so miserable for the pictures? Then they end up looking like bullies! That's why I think they should use laughing gas instead: that way, everyone will be smiling and laughing in the news photos, and the government can claim that it was just a big party with everyone having lots of fun.
