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.

Good luck making it through voir dire.

They’re the police. See any of a huge number of articles. It’s nearly impossible to go after them for shooting someone in the back.

This is far more tenuous.

All this is, sadly, is now an emotional bullet point in a future civil rights suit.

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.)

Tell me you've never done jury duty without telling me you've never done jury duty.
