The armed citizenry and police are natural allies.

Thank you armed citizen!
These days, it's a brave man that steps up to aid justice.

Yes. But two points:
One, the police officer has qualified immunity. The citizen does not. So a citizen who goes too far (as determined by a confused DA) might be in a bit of trouble.
And two, there have been instances where later-arriving police mistake the good citizen for a bad guy. And so the good citizen gets shot by the police.
I’m not arguing against citizens helping the police. Not at all. I’m just pointing out a few things that must be kept in mind.

That’s an excellent way to get yourself killed. Maybe the first cop understands you are helping him, but the next ones who show up, adrenaline spiking?

Um......who gives an F the citizen who helped a valid concealed-carry permit. Criminals nation wide conceal carry without “permits” and do not fill out that cute Federal form asking if you are criminal when getting a firearm. The situation is so out of control it is beyond comprehension.
