Cops do that routinely, but no one had anyone at gunpoint in the Arbery case.


OK, if someone not a cop, who didn't observe you committing a crime, with a shotgun, tried to detain you would you consider that a violation of your rights?

In that case we have a conflict of interests (both parties feel they've been wronged), assuming I'm innocent while the fellow questioning me wants me to wait for the police. Best move in that case would be to wait for the police.

I didn't ask what you would do in that situation, or what you think the "best move" would be. I asked if you would consider that a violation of your rights.
