#Sayreville link it trial#
His conviction on two counts of assaulting a police officer was overturned by an appeals court in August (because a trial judge did not tell the jury to consider Mauro’s self-defense claims). The Sayreville Police station did not respond to a request for an interview, but eight months after that meeting, Mauro said, “hip hop” night was raided and Mauro was arrested. “Cut out the n-r music, Mick,” the detective said, according to Mauro. There, Mauro recalled, the message could not have been clearer. A detective from the Sayreville Police Department called him at the bar, Mauro said, and asked him to come down to the station. “I can 100 percent say that none of this would have happened if white kids were involved.”įor Michael Mauro Jr., a white man whose family ran a bar in Sayreville for 58 years, the town’s submerged racism bubbled to the surface when he launched a “hip hop” night in 2009. For some young black men, recent life in Sayreville has included passing cars of white teens calling out racial slurs and weekend parties where they knew they would not be welcome.

Roberts is one of more than a dozen past and present residents who, in interviews with NBC News, portrayed Sayreville as a place rubbed raw by the kind of demographic change that has washed over America, reshaping it wholesale. True or not, the racism rumor is spreading, kicking up the not-so-hidden muck of a town with more than its share of black and white tension. “I don’t want to believe that that is what motivated this.” “We don’t have those problems in our community,” Sayreville native and New Jersey state assemblyman John Wisniewski told SportsNet New York. Several recent white players told NBC News that racial animosities had nothing to do with these new charges, and local officials have sought to squash the rumors, reassuring residents that Sayreville has a color-blind justice system.
