A black man was held in handcuffs by cops for eight minutes while moving into his own home because officers didn’t that the house was his, it has been claimed.
The American Civil Liberties Union is now calling for an investigation into the detention of Karle Robinson in Tonganoxie, Kansas in Aug. 19 last year.
The civil liberties group has branded the incident as an example of ‘moving while black’.
Here’s what you need to know about Karle Robinson
Karle Robinson / FacebookKarle Robinson is a military veteran
Mr. Robinson is a US military veteran and served in the Marines according to reports by the Kansas City Star.
It is not clear where he served in combat.
Robinson is retired and volunteers as a radio DJ at a Kansas City radio station, where he presents a jazz show.
On the night in question the letter claims that Robinson was stopped while moving his TV into his new home.
The letter read: ‘Officer Brady Adams stopped and detained Karle Robinson while he was carrying a television into his home.
‘As Mr. Robinson was going up the stairs of his home, Officer Brady pulled up into his driveway, drew his weapon and instructed Mr. Robinson to put down the television.’
Robinson immediately complied with the directive.
According to the ACLU letter, Robinson observed Officer Brady Adams pass by his home ‘five or six times’ over a two hour period before the directive as he moved items into his new home. He also stated that he made eye contact with the police officer on at least one occasion.
Despite Mr Robinson’s willingness to comply with the orders and his attempts to explain that he owned the house and had the paperwork inside, Robinson was handcuffed while Brady radioed for backup, according to the ACLU.
Brady along with another officer went into the house and located the paperwork while Robinson, the homeowner waited in handcuffs.
Brady said that he had placed Mr Robinson in handcuffs because of a string of burglaries in the area. However, when Mr Robinson searched local crime records and spoke to his neighbors, he found that there had been no such incidents.
Brady also could not explain why he spent 2 hours repeatedly driving past Mr. Robinson’s home before entering the property, according to the ACLU letter.
Mr Robinson also reported repeated police harassment in the weeks following the incident.
In the letter it states that the Police Department: “maintained a regular presence on or near Mr Robinson’s home in the weeks following his detention. TPD squad cars parked directly across the street at the Water Treatment Center almost every evening. They also frequently patrolled around his block. On the evening of August 21 2018, a TPD officer followed Mr. Robinson from his home to the highway for over 5 minutes.
Mr Robinson also alleges that Police Department officials made it difficult for him to lodge a complaint against the officers involved in the incident.
The letter adds: “It also appears that the Chief of Police prevented Mr. Robinson from filing a credible, legitimate complaint and that is not in compliance with reporting and intake standards. He must not interfere with citizens registering complaints.”
“I’d like to see those cops and that chief lose their jobs because this was uncalled for — this is strictly racial profiling,” Robinson told The Associated Press in an interview.
He added that if he were white “we wouldn’t even be having this conversation right now.”

File a big lawsuit and get a bigger house
i dont ever have to kiss up to white peiple or have them have freinds, in my line of business i dont even want to touch them, they always smell, i hate niggers and white people, they both equals the same to me, less than human
'LMWM i just saw your profile you are a f***** i though you were a b****, well that makes you a slut for the white peoiple you damn n*****, if they love you so much why be around black people., where do you live, whats your zip code, whats your living condition, what lkind of job do you do that makes you kiss up to white people like that? you dumb n*****
LMWM go suck a dick, i dont give a f*** about you and your white people, i hope you burn in hell with them, i hope the next mass shootings take place where you work so you can go down with them, you are not even a roach on here, i dont give a damn about you, why are you telling me about your insecure n***** experince with your massa, you aint nothing but a dumb n*****, and i realize just about 95% of you who came from those 3rd world countries are always kissing up to white people, they are your jesus, now die slow and suck dick f*** you and all of them
mr1stroke, why are you always so negative? I worked with lots of good white people and the most racist came from my own black people. A good example is when I first moved to the USA, I had two suitcases and a duffel bag... All the black people passed me struggling to go up some stairs and an elderly white man, who could have been in his 80's helped me. There are racist in every culture because of the color of your skin; accent; hair and many more particulars. These cops arrests were obviously based on race. Black people need to work together and not bring down each other.
We can just make a heading called LIVING WHILE BLACK, then make a long list under it from hear to next never.
They were full of s***....robberies in the neighborhood! Yeah right. And in the video, you see one of the officers laughing in the background.
and for the dumb niggers who are always defending white people how good they are, do you see how the f***** cop is laughing in the back, by the way to the niggers who are always saying they are good white people, how come they are not out there marching and protesting for police reform and prison reform,a s well as the justice system reform that continue to collapse the black community, like they are doing for the border wall and the illegal imimigrants, what if they had that much passion for black people? dumb niggers
