A newly released video is circulating of a job interview for the former Texas police officer who shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson in her home.

NBC 5 obtained the video showing Aaron Dean describing why he would be a good police officer.

"Will you be able to kill somebody if you have to," the interviewer asked Dean.

The former police officer, who resigned after killing 28-year-old Jefferson on October 12, answered without hesitation.

"No problem," he said.

According to NBC 5, Dean was interviewed in front of a review panel including two officers, a detective, an investigator and a corporal.

"I am interested in working for this department because I want to serve my fellow citizens in a very close and personal way," Dean told the panel. "I live in the city. I like the city a lot. I like the feel of the city."

Dean also admitted to an assault case he faced in college.

"There was a young lady at the school flirting with me. I wanted to respond to see where it would go. It escalated a bit," Dean said. "I touched her inappropriately. It was an inappropriate action. And she, of course, took exception to it and rightfully so."

When asked to name the most difficult decision he made in the last six months before applying for the job, Dean stayed silent until the interviewer finally decided to come back to the question.

When the interviewer came back to the question, Dean described a decision he had to make at his previous job while cleaning out an older man's work area after passing away.

Dean said he found $100 in his former coworker's workspace but decided to talk to his supervisor, ultimately deciding to give it to the man's family.

"It was not a difficult decision. There was really no question about what was the right thing to do, but it would have been nice to get that extra cash since I was in college," Dean said.

According to NBC 5, Dean's supervisors from his first year on the job noted that he has "tunnel vision" and "needs improvement on communicating with the public and fellow officers."

A more recent supervisor described Dean as "a young officer working at a level commonly seen from more experienced officers."

Dean told the interviewers that he would only use his weapons to protect himself and others.

"A time to fight is if I'm under — or someone I care about or I'm responsible for is under imminent threat. I do have a license to carry. That, of course, is constantly on my mind as I walk around carrying a weapon for self-defense or defense of others," he said. "If there is an imminent threat and I think it is necessary to defend myself, then that is absolutely the time to do so." 

According to The Dallas Morning News, Dean was released on bond after being charged with murder for killing Jefferson.
