Ferguson, Mo. police Officer Darren Wilson says he’s had a “clean conscience” since fatally shooting unarmed black teen Michael Brown on Aug. 9.
“I don’t think its haunting. It’s always going to be something that happened,” Wilson told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos in an interview that aired Tuesday night, his first since the fatal confrontation. “The reason I have a clean conscience is because I know I did my job right.”
Wilson recounted his struggle with Brown and repeated some of the same details he’d shared in testimony before a grand jury that decided not to indict him for the shooting. Stephanopoulos asked him to elaborate on describing Brown as a “demon” in testimony.
“It was a very, very intense, intense image he was presenting,” Wilson said. “I was so shocked by the whole interaction because this escalated so quickly from a simple request to a fight for survival.”

If your conscience is clean, it’s because it’s missing. You have something deeply wrong with you, if you feel nothing after taking a mans life for no good reason. And, based on half the comments I read in social media… many in our country have the same problem. It’s very very sad, and I feel for the Brown family.
Considering he has no conscience, having a clean one is moot. This clown is a murderer hiding behind a corrupt police dept., and an even more corrupt prosecutor.
“I was so shocked by the whole interaction because this escalated so quickly from a simple request to a fight for survival.”
Its like he had nothing to do with it, the process has a life of its own. He was caught up in “this” while doing his job. This is what the banality of evil sounds like my friends. This guy has done more to hurt well meaning cops in America than any Black Panther.
You and George Zimmerman both.
