The obvious answer to the topic question is... "It depends."
Lots of factors that can dictate the correct tactic.
Video is interesting and im hoping it generates some good discussion.

Not in the context of rioting, but of the everyday commute:
I've found myself trying to leave a car length or so in front of me and the stopped car in front of me. If something requires rapid movement, not being stuck with cars directly in front and behind you gives you more options.
In South Africa you could buy a kit that spits out live flames around your car. They were sold because of the amount of Car Jackings that were going on. Probably not legal now, since that was in the late 80s and early 90s.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Yep. I do that too. I learned if from this book, I bought almost 20 years ago. Much in it is still relevant today.

I turned into a burger drive through only to find it blocked by two cretins in an old police car. Ahead of them and to one side was a third cretin. My instinct immediately alerted me that this was not right. I stopped before pulling up close to the other vehicle. Next cars entering blocked my egress. The idiots were working a ruse to get gas money. All reading this can readily see how the event could have had tragic outcome. The 380 in my pocket felt like a water pistol. I say choose drive throughs with care and avoid them at night. My experience occurred in broad daylight.
The SUV driver in the Provo riot took a round, but boogied rather than shoot back, and made it to the hospital.
The vehicle freed him up from the crowd more effectively than shooting back, in this case, and I think it may be so in many cases.
