Why did they refer to this as a “citizen’s arrest”? Something doesn’t make sense here…
I was thinking that maybe she was off-duty, hence a “citizen’s arrest.” Yet she’s wearing a uniform.
It was his arrest and apparently he is a citizen. The citizen was being arrested. I don’t even think a comma would help make it clearer.

It could be that because the black guy was the victim, he had to make the arrest.
It sounds odd, but I’ve seen that before. Cops roll up on an incident. A crime has occurred, but the cops did not witness it. Cops tell the victim to arrest the suspect.
Victim says “you’re under arrest” to the suspect. Cops then cart the suspect off to jail.
