Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson says he “never wanted to take anybody’s life” and feels sorry about the death of Michael Brown.
But Wilson says in an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America” that aired Wednesday that he followed his training when he shot the unarmed black teenager. During their confrontation, he says, “The only emotion I ever felt was fear and then it was survival and training.”
Wilson says he only fired at Brown when Brown was facing him, and never when his back was turned. And he says he saw in the teenager a high level of aggression and anger that was “almost unfathomable.”
Wilson says he understands Wilson’s parents’ anger because they are grieving their son. He says, “I’m sorry that their son lost his life.”

If he were a decent human being he never would have gotten into trouble
Everybody always liked the aftermath never what led up to it
I support you officer Willson, you did the right thing by shooting that drug addict and thief dead.
Your a true American HERO!!
Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson acted properly in this case,
#1there have been many sad “decent human” beings who “have gotten into trouble”
How about the crazy jewish guy that was shot twelve times by police a few years ago?
Can you imagine in all his years on the force he NEVER fired his revolver?
Poor guy because he’s still being made out as a villain even though this “unarmed” young adult had it coming to him.
He’s going to have to go into witness protection or something as I am sure Sharpton had him as a marked man.
