I have to say a new Bicycle would have been cheaper.

The article was pretty worthless in making a decision.

1. I would assume that if you decide to make a citizens arrest use of force laws apply.

2. You can only use the amount of force required to make the arrest.


I see where they put a knee in his back. If the guy complies with the command and gets on the ground and puts his hands behind his back. The knee was uneccessary.

As usual the newspaper article doesn't include any of that information. No information on resistance form the suspect.

The information needed is:

Did the suspect use force to prevent his arrest or attack his pursuers?
