The Murder of Ahmaud Arbery | National Review
Citizen’s arrest laws do not empower Georgians to brandish weapons and make demands of random suspects on the street.

Far be it from me to pile on to what usually are leftists pissing and moaning issues regarding ordinary citizens getting involved with law enforcement, but I can not find a way to support Former cop Gregory McMichael.
You're NOT A COP ANYMORE. Unless you SAW, that means actually observed the incident, you do not chase down and attempt to arrest anyone.
Period.
That is what the law reads.
You can not question, apprehend or detain anyone you did not actually observe as part of an incident.
EVEN IF Arbery was actually running from a crime scene, but you did not see him engaged in criminal behavior other than running, you have no right to stop that man, let alone threaten him with a weapon.
Arbery may have been a scumbag with a petty criminal background, but he might have also been just a guy taking a jog with a petty criminal background. He might have turned his life around and been in pursuit of a job as a cop. We don't know any of that.
What I do know is that this will be exploited by leftists, and there may be racial issues involved.
