hmm wouldent that depend on how good my training was?

i believe you asnwer your own question.

why would the gun shot be fatal in an unarmed man?

believe me not picking a side.

plus you automatically assuming the motive was for mr brown to kill, how do we know that?

who knows maybe that was his motive, however correct me if im wrong he was unarmed?

No idea why cops dident just shoot him in the leg.

This question has been asked and answered sooooo many times. Have you ever fired a gun?

I didn't think so.

Have you ever fired a gun while someone was attacking you? Most of us have not.

Officer Wilson took a blow to the head, hard enough to injure his skull. It's commendable that he had enough composure to NOT GET HIMSELF KILLED, but was able to fire off six shots, all of which hit the suspect.

Lastly, police officers are trained to shoot at "center mass." That business of "shooting someone in the foot" is pure Hollywood. Achieving good aim while shooting at a target well below you is very, very difficult. Achieving good aim while a "not-so-gentle giant" is punching your lights out is probably a helluva lot harder.
