In fairness we're taking that comment as face value without knowing what level of violence "restraining a stalker" entailed.

From how she describes it in the video, he apparently held the stalker by the arm until police arrived. It doesn't seem like he roughed the guy up or injured him at all. It really seems like Twitch applied the "no touching" rule to the wrong person.
