Man dies after citizen's arrest in LA

We'll never know the suspect's side of it...but citizen's arrest can go wrong.

I say let law enforcement handle such things.

I want to arrest someone while holding a gun in both hands, and ask the perp "Feeling lucky, punk? I'm placing you under arrest."

Right let law enforcement handle things after guy breaks into your house and harms/kills your family member...

We do need to get rid of citizen's arrest.

Making a citizen’s arrest is a risky thing to do.

Hell, in legal terms, these days it’s risky for cops to make an arrest.

Is it time to get rid of citizen's arrest?​

Those are the risks of committing crimes. But since 99.9999% of all deaths occur under professional police presence, then I like my odds under citizen's arrest where only 0.00001% of all deaths occur!

Meh, one less scumbag for society to have to deal with.

If you defund the police and abolish citizens arrest the next logical step is to legalize all crime. The purge every day, all day.

Who said anything about defunding the police?

It is part of the same pattern of supporting criminals.

Making a citizen's arrest is the only to arrest someone for a misdemeanor if the cops are not present when it happens. The cops can direct the witness to make the arrest with the cops actually carrying it out.

I guess that depends on what state you’re in. I know cops can make an arrest in NY for a misdemeanor committed outside of their presence.
