Didn't you hear? He shot Brown until he stopped charging at him. Brown then charged back at the officer and then the officer shot Brown again.

I think it's also important to note that Mike Brown was 6'4 and nearly 300 pounds, making him a behemoth of a man, not some little kid. It's also important to remember that the police have certain protocols and training to follow in the event of needing to use guns to solve a conflict. In my understanding, the typical protocol in the US is to 'shoot to kill' or aim for the center of mass if you need to actually fire on someone. Maybe not something everyone agrees on, but I fail to see any controversy if race were not a factor.
