Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Missouri, police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, said that the unarmed teenager taunted and threatened him, and accused him of being too cowardly to shoot.

According to NBC News, Wilson detailed the confrontation with police detectives following the killing and said he was afraid for his life.

Specifically, he was asked what he was thinking during the encounter. He said, “He’s gonna kill me.” “How do I survive?” “How do I live through this, basically?”

Later in the interview, Wilson described Brown as physically uncontrollable and “for lack of a better word, crazy. I’ve never seen that. I mean, it was very aggravated, aggressive, hostile. Just, you couldn’t, you could, you could tell he was lookin’ through ya.”
