Why do you believe that Wilson did not see Brown as an imminent threat?
How do you believe Brown approached Wilson?
Do you think he changed his behaviour that he exhibited to the shop owner?

Police are trained to aim for the centre of the body mass and to keep shooting until the threat is over. If that means six bullets, that means six bullets.
The question of how many times Wilson shot Brown is completely irrelevant to me. The one that matters is whether the shooting was warranted at all - i.e.: whether Brown actually represented an imminent threat to Wilson. I tend to think not, but that question has been muddied beyond hope of ever unraveling, unfortunately.
