Former NFL wideout afraid he "could've died" after run-in with police officer

We haven't heard much from former Atlanta Falcons standout wide receiver Roddy White recently. But the four-time Pro Bowler unleashed a string of tweets detailing a terrifying allegation against a Dekalb County police officer:

So I just got pulled over for speeding and my tag expired so I got 2 tickets which I wasn't complaining about I gladly excepted them

But what I had a problem with is officer Kirby of the dekalb county police department bag #1970 I'm going to have to report this man

This officer got out his car and immediately unbutton his his strap on his gun and put his hand on his gun and came to my car wit his hand
