Frank Nucera Jr. had retired in January after state authorities learned of a federal investigation.
(CNN)-- The recently retired chief of police of a New Jersey township was arrested Wednesday by the FBI and charged with a federal hate crime for allegedly slamming a handcuffed African-American suspect into a doorjamb during a 2016 arrest.
According to a criminal complaint against Frank Nucera Jr., who resigned in January, the former chief espoused violence toward African-Americans, using the N-word and other epithets.
He allegedly told an officer in his Bordentown police department that "The n-----s are like ISIS, they have no value."
"They should line them all up and mow 'em down," he said, according to an affidavit accompanying the complaint.

THORNTON, Colo. — Three people were killed inside a suburban Denver Walmart on Wednesday evening by an unidentified gunman who “nonchalantly walked in,” fired randomly into a cluster of people and left the store without saying a word, the police said.
The police said late Wednesday that the gunman was still at large, and they released a security photograph of a middle-aged white man in a black jacket leaving the Walmart in Thornton, just north of Denver. They said he fled in a red Mitsubishi Mirage. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/01/us/thornton-colorado-walmart-shooting.html?_r=0
