how am i wrong? in tennessee in particular -you have no duty to retreat -you are protected by good samaritan law from civil or legal responsibility you have no lawful reason to stop someone attempting a rescue, and the rescuer has no lawful reason to stop. on the contrary, attempting to arrest someone at threat of gunpoint is kidnapping and is a federal crime which can be met with lethal force to defend oneself. in tennessee in particular, citizens have no duty to retreat under lethal threat, not even against law enforcement officials. a law enforcement official acting outside good samaritan laws and using spurious reasons to affect an arrest with no cause would be guilty of attempted kidnapping, and could be shot in self defense
