The people in his shithole neighborhood either love him or he's a thug and they're afraid of him.
You're a smart guy. Google him and look for the account of him chasing someone and taking a LOADED shotgun that he keeps in his truck out and holding him for the police.
They even acknowledge in the article that it's not legal to do so.
Wanna guess if he was charged?

Precisely.
Had I won my race as Philadelphia Sheriff, I still would not be permitted to make arrests directly myself under Pennsylvania Law until I complied with 53 Pa.C.S. § 2161 [basically, it's to take and complete abbreviated Academy training at PSP]. And also comply with Act 135 [something former PPD Commissioner Chuck Ramsey discovered when he was hired from D.C. when he found out he wasn't licensed to have a gun on him for his job, even as police chief, nor off-duty]. And even with all that--I would still be a "civillian" no matter what; because I have the humility to recognize unless you came in through the lobby and worked your way up, this is not your domain and you stay out of it.
I didn't run for Sheriff though as a goal to be a LEO boss... I ran because they run a billion-dollar real estate operation, the largest in Philadelphia--and quite a number of people involved in it should be doing time right now in the Federal pen because they are thieves. They are also raping the taxpayers of millions of dollars in bloated overtime. Work morale as bottom-barrel, the guy who is Sheriff right now is a flunky and was a mall cop at Temple U and way before that he was Jelly from the block bagging groceries; now he's in charge of shit that's way over his head and he doesn't understand---and it's lifetime residents homes his office deals with and steals money and equity both from incompetence and outright fraud.
For a fucking mayor to be making citizens arrests and shit---that's not brave, it is stupid. You get a police radio put in your vehicle if you want to get the cops out quick or take a cop with you.
But this is Pennsylvania, and we have a ton of shit boros in this state full of dumbass people doing dumbass shit---and I'm only talking about the people who run the show, not the citizenry.

Dumbass doesn't know in Pennsylvania you have no license to pursuit.
Even if someone breaks into your home--you cannot give chase and mow them down.
If they're ADVANCING, you can turn them into red mist. If you're giving chase---all you should be doing is tracking and giving LEOs an update on his location if that's what your gameplan is.
Castle Doctrine is "stand your ground", not a hunting license.
