Generally, citizens can (successfully) sue the police for infliction of emotional distress in one of two instances, when an officer:
- intentionally or recklessly acts in a way that causes emotional injury or
- causes emotional distress through a negligent act.
But if the court determines that the conduct was within the scope of the officer’s law-enforcement duties, that officer is generally immune (and can't be held liable).

Senator McCarthy did more than just round up suspected communists. He round up political enemies and did his best to damn them of their “crimes.” Any individual who publicly acknowledged even a distant connection to a communist (say, a cousin’s friend’s girlfriend that you met at a party once) could be tried. Oftentimes, they were lambasted and ostracized.
