Cops are trained to aim center mass and shot to neutralize the threat immediately. Not sure what Officer Brown had as a gun but a very common patrolman's weapon is a 9mm pistol. Have you ever fired one? Supposedly the first clip were a combination of shots that went through Brown's arms or missed. A person with fast hands can change out a clip in a second and a half and squeeze a trigger 6 times a second. You could shoot somebody six times before they probably even realized they had been hit.

This isn't Hollywood where a handgun bullet sends a 200 pound man flying backwards. Cops don't squeeze off one shot and then wait to see what happens. The guy had already went for the officers gun and was charging him. Officer Wilson was also by himself, that makes a big difference in strategy.
