And if the use of force was not justified because the reasonable belief turns out to not have been reasonable in court, then the protection doesn't apply. Quote:
The situation you describe--where a person is acting properly and is fully justified and a bullet goes somewhere it shouldn't have is generally not going to be a problem from a prosecution standpoint because humans aren't superhuman. They can't stop bullets after they go through a target. They all miss sometimes. But it's important to keep in mind that there can be collateral damage--that should be something that is factored into a determination of whether to intervene or not. Quote:
The incident with the cop and the group of people attacked by the homeless guy underscores what can happen if a person steps in without understanding the situation and doesn't (or can't) really take control of the situation. In that case, well-meaning intervention resulted in an innocent person being badly injured because the officer failed to control what happened after he stopped what he perceived to be an attack.

Also keep in mind you cannot bring back the dead in scenario's you should have intervened. That is the nature of not having a crystal ball and why a reasonable man standard is limited to what that individual would have known IN THE TIME. Quote:
