Remember when I said, "A kid is dead. A man has to live with the weight of taking that life, assuming he's not a sociopath."?

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos reports that Darren Wilson says he has a clean conscience.

All righty then. That makes no sense to me. At all. I don't know any police officers who've taken a life, but I know my share of veterans and the ones who killed people—people who were trying to kill them—live with the weight of it. Even if they know it was justified. I know people who've killed people on accident—in accidents where the person who died was at fault. They still feel... if not exactly guilt... a deep and profound wish that things had gone differently.

I don't understand how you take a life and have no regrets. Even if you believe it was completely justified.

But this, like a lot of things about Darren Wilson's account of himself, seems unbelievable.
