not being a lawyer, i'm not familiar with all of the various levels of charges, but is this something that could be charged with something along the lines of negligent homicide? playing the what if game, but what if the actions of the police are deemed improper? what are the possible repercussions of the collateral damage?

Homicide by inducement of stress? That'd be a hard sell.

Nope. I'd convict immediately for the INTENTIONAL infliction of emotional distress and the death such action caused. Misdemeanors that cause death become felonies - see DUIs.

Two problems: IIED is a civil tort, not a crime, misdemeanor or otherwise. Second, the rule you state usually doesn't exist; many states have abolished the misdemeanor manslaughter rule or limited iy to a narrow class of misdemeanors, so that death in the course of a misdemeanor isn’t automatically manslaughter, and in states that retain it the class of manslaughter it becomes is a often a wobbler (can itself be a misdemeanor, or a felony, not always a felony.)
