The results of the grand jury's investigation in the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson has brought on both violent and peaceful protests throughout the U.S.
However, the results of the grand jury's decision declining to indict Darren Wilson may be putting the officer in further danger, as he's described his life after the Ferguson shooting as "stressful" during an exclusive interview on "Good Morning America."
"You're always looking, you're always wondering if someone'll recognize you, if someone is following you. Just every possibility you can think of," Wilson told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos during the interview.
He reportedly added that he takes precautions wherever he goes, "from where you sit in the restaurant to, you know, where you drive. Everything has to run through your head. It's every time you walk, you make sure no one's following you, everything."
Darren Wilson also reportedly stated in the interview that he even grew a beard to hide his identity. Now that he and his new wife are expecting a baby, there may be further precautions that need to be taken.
Wilson reportedly claimed that 18-year-old Michael Brown had reached into his car and grabbed his gun on the day of the altercation, according to Yahoo News. He also reportedly claimed that Brown charged toward him, which led him to shoot the teenager.
Wilson may no longer be able to spend his career with the police force as he had planned for before the shooting and the announcement of the grand jury's results.
"I'm not sure it's possible. I mean, you think they would accept me? You think it'd be safe for me?," asked Wilson during his interview.
Violence erupted in Ferguson for the second consecutive night as 45 people were arrested, according to ABC News. Police reportedly fired tear gas at protestors after a police car was flipped over and set on fire.
However, unlike Monday, more than 2,000 National Guardsmen were reportedly deployed to Ferguson on Tuesday to help restore some level of peace in the city.
"None of us could have imagined what had happened Monday night," stated Missouri State Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson.
He added, "If we had a crystal ball, maybe we would have done things differently."
