It seems that no matter how many stories of cops performing racial bias against blacks are revealed, discrimination continues to happen.
This week, the police chief of the small New Jersey community called Bordertown Township, Frank Nucera Jr., faced discrimination charges, and his story may be one of the most disgustingly blatant heard you've heard in a long time.
60-year-old Nucera was arrested early this week on federal hate crime and civil rights charges, according to the Washington Post.
A criminal complaint describes Nucera as a man who continuously spewed racist comments and performed racists acts. while on the job.
The complaint cites Nucera as saying on one occasion, “I wish that n*gger would come back from Trenton and give me a reason to put my hands on him, I’m tired of ’em."
The chief believed that the black man in question had slashed some police vehicle tires, then fled out of Nucera's jurisdiction.
In continuing to talk about his frustration with that incident, Nucera reportedly said "These n*ggers are like ISIS, they have no value. They should line them all up and mow ’em down. I’d like to be on the firing squad, I could do it.”
If that wasn’t enough, hold your hats. It gets worse.
In September 2016, two black teens checked into a local Ramada hotel. They didn't pay for their stay, and wouldn't get out of the pool. The manager called the police; Nucera and some of his officers arrived on the scene to handle the 16-year-old girl and 18 year-old man, who.
According to the complaint, the pair resisted arrest.
They were both eventually handcuffed, but the man, after being pepper-sprayed, began screaming. Nucera responded to this by slamming his head into a metal door jamb. The officers who witnessed the situation admitted to not initially reporting it out of fear that Nucera would retaliate.
In addition to the aforementioned incidents, when providing security at high school basketball games, Nucera would bring police dogs with him, placing them at the entrance of the gym in an effort to frighten black fans.
After New Jersey's attorney general was informed of the investigation, Nucera quickly retired from the police department, according to federal authorities.
