In an audio recording, Bordentown Police Chief Frank Nucera Jr. can be heard saying 'It's gonna get to the point where I could shoot one of these [N-words].'
A police chief in New Jersey who allegedly said he wanted to"mow down" African Americans and claimed Donald Trump was"the last hope for white people" is currently being tried on hate-crime charges.
Sgt. Nathan Roohr, a K-9 officer in the Burlington County department, testified Monday that, during an arrest in 2016, Nucera grabbed the head of an African American suspect"like a basketball" and slammed it into a metal door jam."[It] made a loud thud," Roohr said."I immediately knew it was wrong. I knew I had an obligation to report it," he added."This was an obvious excessive force.
If convicted, former Bordentown, New Jersey, police chief Frank Nucera could face 20 years in prison.Nucera, who retired abruptly in 2017, has been charged with hate-crime assault, as well as civil rights violations and lying to the FBI. Prosecutors maintain he had a"significant history" of making racial remarks.
Roohr also said Nucera directed K-9 officers to use police dogs to intimidate black people."Let these [expletives] see him. Let 'em see him. I don't care," Nucera can be heard saying in a recording.
