"Heh heh heh, care to venture how many suspects are taken into custody by police officers without being handcuffed? Are all these officers charged with aggravated assault? They have guns on and are touching the perps as they put handcuffs on them."

Actually, that would be because they are commissioned officers of the law.

So no citizens are able to execute a citizens arrest without being charge with assault?  That's an interesting point of view.

Not interesting at all. Citizens do not have the same legal authority that a sworn law enforcement officer does; it's really a very simple concept.
