I don’t think anyone noticed that the cop shot up the right side of the victim consistently. I don’t think that was a mistake. I believe he was expecting him to pull a gun, and odds favor the victime being right-handed. I doubt that they would ever be able to determine the order of the shots, but I believe the were progressively up the arm and to the head as Brown kept charging

“Aiming” to hit the right arm increases the chances of missing and striking a bystander.

I believe, as others, his vision was impared.

Some similar comments have been posted many times. Police aren't trained that way. I certainly was never trained that way (shoot to wound). Center of mass center mass until the threat is stopped. Maybe go for a kill shot if you are running out of rounds.
