Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot Michael Brown in August and sparked widespread protests, sat down for his first interview on Tuesday after a grand jury decided not to indict him, telling ABC News‘ George Stephanopoulos that he was sure he did the right thing in shooting Brown.
“The reason I have a clean conscience is that I know I did my job right,” Wilson said during the interview, part of which ran on ABC’s “World News Tonight With David Muir” on Tuesday night.
During the interview, Wilson said Brown threw the first punch in the altercation, hitting him in the left side of his face.
