This single interaction reflects their overall tactic.
Aggressors make an explicit verbal statement of submission while continuing an implicit display of threat, e.g. hands up don't shoot while the mob aggressively advances.
The defenders(s), confused by the verbal submission, refrains from the use of counter-force.
The aggressors take advantage of the inaction to attack.
If the defender is able to successfully counter the attack, the aggressors again claim submission and passivity denying any aggression even when evidence proves thr contrary.
