A Kansas police department is facing allegations of racism after a black man used his cellphone to record two white officers yanking him out of a vehicle after seeing vegetation on his window.

Rudy Samuel, 31, live-streamed the encounter on Facebook earlier this month after Winfield police stopped his car. Winfield is a small city situated along the Walnut River in Cowley County, Kansas.

If you want to see a video of racial profiling, this is the poster child right here, Kansas City attorney Brian McCallister , who is not representing anyone in the case, told HuffPost on Monday. It was an abuse of power because they had no reason to use that kind of force.

In the video, recorded May 13, Samuel says hes been stopped by officers who claim he failed to signal within 100 feet of making a turn. Samuel narrates the first few minutes of the video and waits as the officers attempt to verify his drivers license and vehicle registration. About two and a half minutes into the video, an officer can be seen approaching Samuels vehicle.

Hey, Mr. Samuel, what caught my attention was this vegetation stuff right here, the officer said.

After looking at what the officer is referring to which isnt visible in the video but is apparently some sort of vegetation in the window seal Samuel can be heard saying, Thats tree stuff, man thats gotta be from a tree.

He later adds: I dont even smoke.

The officer then tells Samuel hes going to put the vegetation in an evidence bag, and hes seen returning to his patrol car. He then returns with another officer.

The first officer can be heard telling Samuel to step out of his vehicle. When Samuel asks why, the officer claims its because of the vegetation in the window. Asked by Samuel to test the vegetation, the officer replies, I aint gotta test it right now. I need you to step out for me.

The officers then appear to reach into the vehicle and drag Samuel out. Samuel drops his cellphone at this point, but the phone continues to record, capturing the sound of officers detaining Samuel.

Youre being detained so I can search the vehicle, an officer can be heard saying. Samuel replies, I give no permission to search that vehicle.

Shortly thereafter, the video stops. Samuel later wrote on Facebook that one of the officers stopped the recording.
