Not if there are many witnesses looking on, I think :)

>2. Say "The only safe mage is an unconscious mage,"

Likely.

I think this would be done if they're convinced he doesn't really pose a
threat (an overstressed R&D wage mage or something)

Better space them out because one mana ball can kill an awful lot of people...

Quite probably, yes. Let the dips (i.e. LS wage mages) provide spell defense
or fight spells on the astral plane while the mundane officers go in to hit
the offender with stun batons.
