So far, most of the evidence suggests the cop's life was not in danger.
Your question was why Michael Brown had to be shot six times, which assumes you think one or two shots would have been OK.

But if the cop's life was not in danger, then even one shot would be one too many.

Bottom line is that you're moving the goalposts. IF the cop's life was in danger, then six shots was reasonable. Otherwise, no shots would have been.

You assume the cop was a solid, stable individual. In fact, the cop was recently divorced......looks 40 despite being 28........and may not be that competent. Most people stop when they are shot. Therefore shooting your victim who is unarmed six times looks to be an excessive show of force and suggests an unstable cop who is freaking out.
