Yes. Hitting an officer is considered assault and can land the person in jail. Usually that kind of charge is coupled with resisting arrest because that usually how the cop gets decked in the first place. It's actually considered a felony to hit an officer of the law

Yes.
You can make a citizens arrest whenever you see another person 'actually commit' a crime of any sort, or if you 'reasonably believe' that he has committed a felony.
