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:
If she can’t take the allegience, or an oath of office. She can not be one. That simple. Fire her!!! Take her badge!!! Send her home!!!
Disgusting$#%&!@* should be shot.
Get rid of the POS
Isn’t this a religious belief? Why isn’t she in jail for contempt? Or does that only apply to the Christian religion?
Need A U.S. Patriot in this job! Muslims will not protect Americans! Fire him!!!
If you can’t pledge to the country you’re in, you’re probably in the wrong country. Feel free to gtf out!
If he is prejudice now .it’ll get worse bet you .
Umm. Standing at attention is the proper ediquit for indoors not wearing a cover (hat). She may be the worst person ever. I have no idea but not for doing the correct thing.
How about Honoring US with the pledge.We are the ones that fought and died for AMERICA.
Muslims are like a disease they don’t like it where they are so they move then don’t like it where they settle so they make it like it was where they came from then repeat the process. Give them all 24 hrs to get out of the country they don’t like America any way! Find any after 24 hours put them in a dingy set adrift they can choose option 1 or 2 but get out!!
