Citizen arrest?

[underpar]

Oklahoma has a "Citizens Arrest" law on the books. It clearly states that this should only happen when a law enforcement officer is not present. However, it doesn't say anything for/against citizens arresting an officer breaking the law.

With the latest Moore PD/theatre security incident, does a citizen have the right to intervene should they deem the situation excessive use of force?

Yes, but you'll probably come down with a bad case of bullet holes.

In this scenario are there any dogs present?

Agree. Was just wondering because you see regular joes helping LEOs apprehend suspects. You never see anyone try and bail out suspect during "ground and pound".
