From what I've read from interviews with Meyer, and some of the books, Emmett has killed hundreds of people...which Bella refers to "accidents." Emmett usually was just so thirsty for human blood that he drained them almost instantaneously. There was one mention in MIDNIGHT SUN that he drank a human because she smelled so good. But Meyer said that Emmett was almost impossible for the Cullens to restrain him while he was a newborn because he was so strong. This was a time when Emmett literally killed hundreds of humans. Emmett felt bad about his mistakes, but he finally realized that it would do nobody any good if he continued feeling so bad about it. Emmett came to realize that every now and again...being a vampire...he would occasionally kill humans. But I don't see Emmett mirthfully killing humans...teasing and taunting his prey like other vampires do. This is because the Cullens (especially Carlisle) have trained Emmett to think in a certain way. Emmett has developed a conscience...and tries not to murder humans. Most other vampires haven't developed a conscience and easily kill and torment their human prey.
