No, since knowing my luck the police would pin the guy to the floor and shoot him in the head 3 times.
If the police were chasing someone and he ran right by you...

Depends on size (too big, no, too small, no), if he has a weapon (yes, then trip/disarm him; no, well maybe he stole something for his starving child to eat on christmas day), and what crime it appears he committed (theft, see above; almost anything else, trip/push)
I did this once, a guy robbed a chick's purse, and he was being pursued, I tackled his ass and when the Gardaí caught up he jumped up and said "I want to press charges for assault!" The Gard looked at me very seriously and in a very loud voice said "I need your name sir, and make sure it is your REAL NAME, if you do not give me your REAL NAME, we cannot prosecute you. It is VERY IMPORTANT YOU GIVE ME YOUR REAL NAME!". The scumbag was mouthing off about how unfair it was. Taking the hint, I just smiled and said "Jason Bourne", gave a fake address and off I walked.
Damn it. Post 2 ninja'd the Spider-Man joke.
I guess I would. I don't know exactly what I'd do to try to stop them, but I would at least try.

Stick out my leg and giggle ^_^
Although I am screwed if he's armed so either way might as well die laughing.

depending on how brave i am at the time but theres tons of factors built if hes carrying a knife of gun but if i had a vendetta or something i would probably try and trip him or something but i would never put my own life in serious danger
If I thought I could do it safely, yes. If he looked scary or armed, I'd probably try to get out of the way.
Maybe my understanding of the legal system is backwards, but I thought you get arrested first and then stand trial to determine guilt, not that once the police catch you, you are immediately found guilty of something.
I mean, if you live in an authoritarian regime where people often disappear for political crimes, then yes, you have a point. But short of that, you honestly believe that somebody running from the police should get away?
But it means they're suspected of something.RaffB said:

Yeah.
I'd pull this trick: You step to one side and hold up your hands as though you're letting him by, them BAM! Shoulder barge him as he runs past.

If he didn't have a weapon, maybe. But I don't think I'd be able to react quick enough either way.
