Maybe outside the home or auto, but in Georgia, there would have to demonstrable evidence that the force was used in something other than self-defense for there to be an arrest.
I have always considered probable cause had to be articulable, not just "we don't know what happened, sit in this cell while we figure it out."

If someone was threatened, shot or killed, and there are conflicting stories about what happened, there is often probable cause. Our two statements are not in conflict.
