The former chief of a small New Jersey town's police department was
charged this week with a hate crime for allegedly making racist remarks
about black people and assaulting one young suspect whom he referred to
with a slur.
Frank Nucera Jr.'s "racial animus" was
captured on tape by an officer who'd been secretly recording him over
the course of several months while on the job in Bordentown Township, a
predominantly white community of less than 12,000 people near Trenton,
according to a criminal complaint unsealed in federal court. During that
time, Nucera made derogatory remarks about other black suspects, and
black people in general, according to transcripts of recordings
submitted by an FBI agent.
