Quite a few years ago, I read an article by Dave Arnold, now deceased who was a member of the Selous Scouts as well as an elite police unit in Africa.
He had disbursed mobs and investigated the post mortem of their killings.
He said the typical mob will run at the first shot fired. On the other hand he said if they were really fired up and had gotten into a rage, they would kill you and tear you to pieces no matter what you did.
That could be true of mobs, but these were FBI agents they were up against.
