(Omitting the fact that you'd have to put the gun away/not the best tactical move to put them on, but you had help ...)

If you happen to have cuffs and ignoring the tactical issues I would say go ahead but zip ties are different and I wouldn't go there. Heck tie em up or even duct tape him if you want but zip ties just feels like a bad idea.

The OP answered "No" which seems to be what emboldened him to get back up.

Are there any legal issues if the OP or anyone else in that situation had answered "Yes"?

Others may have a better insight than I do but my understanding is that calling yourself a cop is generally ignored unless you use that to try and do something or get away with something. Basically you can walk around with a hot or a shirt saying your police but it doesn't get you arrested till you actually do something. In a case like this it would be way down my list of concerns but I wouldn't answer anything the bad guys ask. They don't get to ask anything. It's them trying to find a way to regain some control and you don't want to allow that. I'm the guy pointing a gun at them and that's all they need to know.
