In a perfect world, yes but we don't live in a perfect world. People's herd or mob mentality makes it very difficult to stop the stampede once it's started. Especially if they do have evidence that contradicts a lynching that they don't want public at this time. Oof course this being the South, that is probably giving the cops too much credit.
