You and I both know that "citizen's arrest" doesn't work out well if the arrested party is a police officer, regardless of how deserving of arrest. Unfortunately, police officers are given more credibility than us mere citizens.
Now, that is by no means an anti-cop attitude. I'm just pointing out this disparity in the courts. A police officer's word should be no more or no less valid than that of a non-badged citizen.

I'm sure you're right about this. My writing what I did was mostly out of disgust of the LEO's actions and his God-syndrome attitude towards his bosses (that means We the People).

I wonder if it would be possible to have it codified into law that LEOs are not immune to being arrested by concerned citizens.

Which state recently reinforced its castle law with legislation saying it doesn't matter whether felon or LEO committed unlawful entry, that castle laws were to be treated by the counts the same?
