The mob that attacked the Bastille included many good bourgois Parisians. Only later were the mobs made up of sans-cullote.

Yes ---the mobs don't just rise up on their own, they get stirred up by one of the bourgois trying to take the power away from another bourgois. That's why revolutions usually don't change things unless like with the example of the American or French Revolutions, somehow the direction turns to a middle class society ---very rare in history. In most revolutions or coups, the mobs are just useful during the overthrow but they don't usually gain anything.
