It's probably time to point out that the original post wasn't asking our authority to effect a citizen's arrest, but rather what duty we have to comply if someone is trying to effect a citizen's arrest against us.

And to some up: if you're innocent, and a non-LEO citizen is trying to use deadly force or threat of deadly force to arrest you, then they're trying to kidnap you, and you are clear to resist the same way you would any other kidnapping.

If they assault you, you can legally resist the same way you would any other assault.
