Most officers are trained to shoot for center of mass because targeting specifically an arm or leg is extremely hard to do in any situation that isn't a totally stationary officer and target in a shooting range, and can lead to a lot of missed shots that have a high potential of hitting unintentional targets.
Thing is, I understand the limitations of accuracy when a firearm is used and the possible collateral damage and unintended injuries, so a cop should be trained to only shoot if they have the intention of killing the suspect. I honestly don't think Wilson exhausted the reasonable line of action up to the point where pounding a dozen rounds at an unarmed man would be justified.
