A white police officer has shared an emotional story after he pulled over a young black man who was texting while driving.

Lieutenant Tim McMillan is a cop in Garden City, Georgia, just outside Savannah, and he detailed the meeting he had while on the job.

'I pulled a car over last night for texting and driving. When I went to talk to the driver, I found a young black male, who was looking at me like he was absolutely terrified with his hands up,' Lt McMillian said.

Lieutenant Tim McMillan, a police officer from Savannah, Georgia, has shared an emotional story after he pulled over a young black man who was texting while driving

'He said, "What do you want me to do officer?" His voice was quivering. He was genuinely scared.

'I just looked at him for a moment, because what I was seeing made me sad. I said, "I just don't want you to get hurt."

The officer continues with his story, saying the young man then asked if he needed to get out of the car.

'I said, "No, I don't want you to text and drive. I don't want you to get in a wreck. I want your mom to always have her baby boy. I want you to grow up and be somebody. I don't even want to write you a ticket. Just please pay attention, and put the phone down. I just don't want you to get hurt."

McMillan detailed the encounter he had with a young black man who he pulled over for talking on his cellphone while driving

'I truly don't even care who's (sic) fault it is that young man was so scared to have a police officer at his window. Blame the media, blame bad cops, blame protestors, or Colin Kaepernick if you want. It doesn't matter to me who's to blame. I just wish somebody would fix it.'
