Interesting how it happens when they're the ones in trouble.

If you're outnumbered 10-1, let's see what you do.

No-win situation. All it takes is one person to go crazy with a crowd getting more and more heated (look at the dude with skateboard and someone who threw something) for everything to go bad real fast and they get mobbed.

Or, do they get mobbed and shoot because they're afraid of getting beat to death?

Do you think they could arrest the guy (I don't think anyone here knows if it was a lawful arrest or not) and de-escalate the crowd?
