A New Jersey police chief has resigned amid controversy over alleged  racist comments about an Asian-American former county prosecutor and New Jersey’s first Sikh Attorney General Gurbir Grewal.


A recording surfaced online last week in which Richard Trigo allegedly made derogatory comments about former Union County Prosecutor Grace Park and current state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal.

In the recording, several people are talking and one person is heard describing Grewal as “that (expletive) guy with the turban ... I want to pull him like a top," as well as referring to Park as “pretty hot” and adding, “she got wide ones.”
