No, you don't ask. You pursue until he/she is apprehended. If there is
resistance, you are permitted to use enough force to secure the subject
with cuffs, then after he/she is cuffed (generally) no more force is
needed. Been there, done that.

No, there is NOT a way of restraining someone who wants to walk away

except

to restrain them by applying greater and opposite force.

They have these things called handcuffs.....


What, ask the thief to please stop running, and stand still while I cuff
you? Where do you live?
