"Police shoot fleeing felons from behind all the time."
Only if they are armed and dangerous, or the police themselves are charged with a crime. No, they can't just shoot whoever disobeys them. Can I? You stated earlier that Constitutionally, cops and citizens are the same.
"There is no constitutional power of arrest outside that of every citizen."

A fleeing felon is presumptively armed and dangerous.
Appelate courts have no trouble with that presumption.
