A robbery suspect shot at a security guard who chased him and several bystanders held him down until police arrived. One comment that intrigued me was:
"You've got to think about what the potential consequences are. Especially if you're not armed, and if you're not able to take the kind of action you may need to take against somebody who is. It's a very risky step to take."
Obviously police departments don't like anybody apprehending a dangerous suspect during or after a crime. Though I am intrigued by the "especially if you are not armed" comment. What if a citizen was armed? Thoughts?
