This happens every day. The police call is resiting arrest.
Usually the police win due to overwhelming force, but in cases where the force is more equal (e.g. during a large scale protest) people who are arrested by police are sometimes forcibly "rescued" by fellow protesters. There are plenty of youtube videos of this happening.
There have been many cases of standoffs between minority groups and the police. Honestly, to say that even mid-high income/status people will do this on a large scale is laughable.
The chance of being shot dead or seriously injured in a situation like this is very real. I know I'm not willing to take that risk. Are you?
