Assistant chief of police, Anita Najiy, created a bone of contention between the Miami Police Department and the Fraternal Order of Police President, Javier Ortiz, after she refused to hold her hand over her heart for the Pledge of Allegiance during a recent promotional ceremony.
Ortiz became livid in seeing Najiy refuse to honor the Pledge, stating that she failed to exhibit courtesy and etiquette that “must be exercised when wearing a law enforcement uniform.”
“If you’re not pledging allegiance to the United States, my question is what country are you pledging allegiance to?” Ortiz asks. “Anyone who isn’t offended by that is not American, because when you become a U.S. citizen, you pledge allegiance to the US.”
Ortiz also states that Najiy’s disrepect comes from her Muslim belief, but that normal “protections” or exemptions generally given in the name of religious freedom and speech doesn´t apply to those in police uniform because “you’re supposed to be neutral.”
MOVE TO PAGE 2:
The Muslim person cannot acclimate to western societies. I don’t care how you mix it up, it will not work. This is not anti-Muslim, it is just fact.
If you cannot honor the pledge you have no business being a police officer.
Then he needs to be fired!!!!
fire him.
No Muslim should ever be in a position of authority like this in this country.
How did she take her oath then ?
After 30 years on the force, I think she has shown her allegiance to our country. Many people stand at attention without their hand over their heart. That’s pretty typical. Stop bashing her over this.
By the way, she obviously isn’t taking your SS, welfare or foodstamps. She isn’t getting free housing or any of the things you mentioned so your “lock and load” mentality and comment is moot. She has a job (of 30 years in case you forgot to read) and has paid taxes, SS and everything else the rest of us Americans have paid. Get over your hating self.
If he breaks the law or refuses to enforce the law, lock him up. They did that to the Christian lady for following her beliefs about same sex marriage.
they should only arrest them and put the on air force 1 and take them back home.
fire & deport
