I asked a police officer what to do if a mob surrounds my car. He said drive slow and if they start damaging the car step on it.

From our own Travis McGee, AKA former SEAL Matt Bracken:

o I never ever stop (at a red light or anywhere) nearer than 15 feet from the vehicle in front. This allows me to accelerate out even if the timid fool in front is afraid to move.

o If I see even a hint of a protest, I get in the inside lane, so I’m not trapped along the curb side by vehicles on my left.

o If anybody stands in front of my vehicle, I’m going to move forward at 5mph. At 5mph or 35, a human cannot stop or even slow a vehicle. Its many horsepower vs one human power. No contest. Car wins. At 5mph, you are demonstrating (to a later hypothetical court) that your intention was not to run anybody down. They can simply move out of the way, or not.

o After the Portland beat down, I have a reasonable fear of death or grave bodily injury if I’m pulled from my vehicle by an angry mob. I’m not stopping. I’ll keep a steady 5 mph forward speed.

o If I see a gun brandished, or one of my windows is breached, I’m going hammer down, and to hell with anybody in front of me. “Fear for my life.”

o I will not pull my own gun as long as my vehicle is moving. It’s just a better weapon than a pistol, and the vehicle gets you clear of the danger zone, a pistol does not.

o I will only pull my pistol if my vehicle is physically stopped, (and I don’t mean by idiots standing in front of it.)

At which point (as has been seen) they'll be fired from their job, have a mob at their house, and be prosecuted by the state.
