Interesting. If I busted off a round to defend my life and it passed through the perp and hit a bystander, chances are I’d be in deep doo-doo.

Depends on the prosecutor and the fact circumstances. The ordeal might end at the termination of investigation, or you might have to convince a jury (which, even if you win, you were in deep doo-doo). Worst case is a conviction.

Girl's father is eligible for manslaughter on the cops bullet, because threating deadly force has the reasonably foreseeable outcome of somebody's death. Didn't mean to kill them, but they are dead. No murder, no depraved mind, but criminal negligence sort of degree of culpability.

most definitely. Pretty sure the democRATS would make an example out of such a case in fact.

Regular folks have no immunity. But it also is why ccw people are better shots, and hit far less innocent people, ie unintended targwts, than cops.
