Former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White is hoping that by sharing the story of his interaction with an officer, he "may save the next black man's life." Earlier today, White sent out a series of tweets detailing what happened after he was pulled over by an officer from Dekalb County, Georgia for speeding.

The issue that Roddy had with this officer was how he approached his vehicle.

After questioning his reasoning, White got the officer's real answer.

White said that he's going to report the officer to hopefully prevent yet another incident of police brutality in the future.
