The reason there were 4 bullets to the right arm was not due to “shooting to wound”, but due to having a blown eye socket due to a knockout punch from a 275 pound thug.

And possibly jerking the gun in a high stress situation.
Exactly .... not only that, was the blown socket his dominant eye? That would affect his shooting accuracy. Under life/death stress, you don’t aim for specific areas like an arm/leg - you shoot for center mass. There is no telling what people are on when they act in unpredictable & violent ways ... PCP perhaps? Those guys feel nothing and keep coming until their bodies literally cannot physically take another step. Officers don’t have time to attend to the ‘niceties’ of figuring out stuff like this when their lives are in danger and they have to make snap decisions. Frankly, anyone who looks at the medical info on a blown socket or hears someone who’s had one talk about it (severe pain, blurred, double vision, surgery & plates/screws in some cases, years to recover,etc.) would be less likely to think of “shooting to wound” - the officer was afraid for his life and desperate to avoid another pounding to the face by the almost 300 lbs of violent thug that was charging him (probably head down to butt him, too) for a second go-round of fists to the face .
Cause may be debatable, but actual impact points are exactly where the “wound” proponents want them - proving their theory unviable.
+1.
Nonsense, the officer didn't realize that Brown was left handed............ /s
Right. He was seeing double, and shooting the ‘wrong’ one, with both eyes open. As the perp closed the distance, the images resolved, and the shots got closer to the actual center of mass. The final shots were closest to the midline because the perp had closed the distance.
