Ex-police chief charged with hate crime called Trump 'last hope for white people'

A former New Jersey police chief who is facing a federal hate crime charge once said that President Trump “is the last hope for white people,” according to a recording played before jurors during his trial.
The New York Times reports that former Bordentown Police Chief Frank Nucera Jr. is on trial in U.S. District Court in New Jersey for a hate-crime assault where he is accused of having slammed a black teenager's head into a doorjam.

At the trial last week, prosecutors played a recording made by a former police colleague where Nucera can be heard making the comment regarding Trump, The Times reported Tuesday, citing a recording it had obtained.
Nucera also made comments about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the lead-up to the 2016 election, saying if elected that she would ”give in to all the minorities,” the Times reported.
At the center of the assault trial is an allegation that Nucera grabbed the head of a black handcuffed suspect in a Sept. 1, 2016 arrest, and slammed them into a metal doorjam. Prosecutors are trying to prove Nucera was motivated by his “intense racial animus.”
A criminal complaint filed in court shows Nucera allegedly told a colleague in 2015 that African Americans are “like ISIS, they have no value.”
Nucera’s lawyer Rocco Cipparone told The Times that the former police chief didn’t commit a hate crime.
“These are embarrassing, ugly words, but if Frank Nucera did not strike this man, then the words are equally irrelevant,” Cipparone said. “It is not a crime, even for a police officer, to use that language. It’s not socially acceptable, it’s not appropriate, but it’s not criminal.”
Nucera resigned from the police department in 2017 following the incident. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
The trial came to a close Tuesday, The Times reports, without Nucera taking the stand. A verdict is expected this week.
