And if the cops arrest you improperly, the police force is liable for attorney's fees, lost wages, etc. So what happens is even in clear cases of unlawful use of the stand your ground law, the cops dont even arrest. Look at the case I attached. The guy pusheg a guy to the ground lightly over a parking space, just stands there and the guy on the ground pulls his gun and shoots him. No arrest, no nothing.

You were typing as I was, and your post could not have been more timely. The law does not use the words "feel fearful." The man that got shoved to the ground and used deadly force has been charged with manslaughter IIRC. That hardly qualifies as "no nothing."
