Darren Wilson, the white police officer and killer of Michael Brown, whose shooting started violent rioting in the U.S. streets, now hints at the possibility of leaving the Ferguson Police Department, in an ABC interview to George Stephanopoulos. He may not get back to his job of police officer, according to his lawyer, Neil Bruntrager.

On Aug 9, Darren Wilson had shot 18-year-old Michael Brown. The issue had come up on Monday, when a grand jury had come to its conclusion on Darren Wilson's killing of the teeanager and decided not to indict him. Currently, he is on paid leave. But he is undertaking some debates with the department, and has decided keep his distance in an "amicable fashion," said Bruntrager. Darren said that he was sorry but his "conscience was clear," according to CNN.

He added that it was not realistic for him to become a police officer again. he said that there is no "illusion" about any of it. The resignation is "not a question of if, it's a question of when." It is significant for him now to leave in a manner that is acceptable.

Brown's parents too are angry, but Darren counters that he never intended to kill anyone on that day. However, just looking at the huge hulk of Michael Brown made him "fear for his life," according to HollywoodReporter. Wilson told the grand jurors that Brown was bearing down at him "aggressively," while witnesses countered that Brown had his hands raised and was just trying to surrender.

Darren's own ordeal began a few days after he shot the unarmed teenaged boy in August. He was mowing his grass when he was informed that his home address was circulating online. He just decided to grab some bags and run away into hiding, according to his attorneys. Since then, he's been creeping from house to house, and even lived with one of his lawyers, watching movies in theaters in which he could at least hide in the darkness.

In an ABC interview he described his stress: "You're always looking. You're always wondering if someone recognized you. Is someone following you? Every possibility you can think of," says Darren Wilson. "All the time you're watching to make sure no one's following you." Last month, he had married the second time, and his wife is expecting a baby. Darren says that now he just wants to lead a normal life.
