Have you tried to find out what happened in the lead up?

These guys jumped in a truck and chased the dude down.

They chased a criminal down! Yes, they should have detained him alive until the police arried if posible, but make no mistake the "victim" was a criminal.

No.

He was snooping through a house under construction.

They should have called the police to report a prowler.

I would only advocate pursuing someone if you just witnessed a violent crime, while you are on the phone with 911 to let them know where the guy is traveling. Then when a police car shows up, you turn away and let them take care of business.

These dudes were assholes looking for trouble. They found it and ended up killing someone.

WRONG
Citizen's arrest
A citizen’s arrest is an arrest made by any person instead of by a police officer. In tort law, a citizen's arrest is something that any person can do without being held civilly liable for interfering with another person’s interests when that interference would otherwise constitute assault, battery, and false imprisonment. This means that any person can physically detain another in order to arrest them, but state statutes define the limited circumstances in which this deprivation of liberty is allowed.

Go to the next riot and do that.

Make a thread to let us know how things turned out.

You see, theory and practice are often very different animals.
