I can't answer the question because I'm not the cop dude. I don't know why the cop didn't shoot Dorian, but that literally doesn't matter at all. Dorian being alive doesn't prove me wrong. Michael is dead because Michael is black.
Absolutely it does strengthen the case of the cop. Both Michael and Dorian are black. His story and use of force would be more credible against two unarmed assailants than one. Plus, being racist, two dead black kids is better to the cop than one, correct?
Now let's look at established fact and draw a more likely, less furtive fallacious version of the events.
Fact: Michael Brown robbed a convenience store. Caught on video and confirmed by the same friend who insists Brown was innocently gumned down.
Fact: Michael Brown was engaged by a police officer 10 minutes after robbing a place.
Michael has reason to be scared of the cop, where Dorian, having not participated in the theft, had none. Michael was also physically larger than Dorian. Therefore, it is reasonable for Michael to engage the officer, but not Dorian.
Fact: The fatal shot was to the top of Michael's head and his lower body was untouched.
If the cop started shooting after Michael surrendered, he would be erect, not with his head bent over to near parallel with the ground. Why didn't he run away? His legs were undamaged, so he had the ability even while the cop was shooting. Why not turn around at least?
