NJ Sheriff M. Saudino resigns over secretly recorded comments about "the blacks" & a Sikh's turban

The sheriff of New Jersey’s most populous county resigned Friday after he was caught belittling the state’s Sikh attorney general and making racist remarks in a secretly-taped conversation.

Bergen County Sheriff Michael Saudino can be heard complaining Gurbir Grewal, the first Sikh American to serve as a state attorney general, was only appointed because of “the turban.”


Saudino also said New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s policies “let the blacks come in, do whatever the f--- they want, smoke their marijuana, do this do that.”

The newly surfaced audio clips — obtained by WNYC — were recorded on Gov. Phil Murphy’s inauguration day on Jan. 16.

LOL. Can't help it. LOL.

You ever notice how cops as a group tend to always be a generation or two behind the times when it comes to social consciousness?
