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:
Then if she’s an AMERICAN citizen she needs to RESPECT the AMERICAN flag and honor it . PERIOD!
Melinda…actually American born does make you American.
You honestly believe that she is a “muslim plant”? Considering she is older than Obama…it was a helluva of plan to get her family to move to Florida before Obama even existed just so she could join the Miami police force…serve the people dutiful for 32 years…..so that NOW she can…do whatever terrible thing you think she was planning on doing since before she was born.
My problem is , yes she has freedom to worship any God, but when it comes to serving America, and the pledge allegiance to America, her Allegiance is to another Country , look at all the people born in this great country of America, and have turned on us and and want to destroy us from within, they get in power ,and can Do A lot Of Damage from within, Have you ever been to Miami, well I have And our oldest son was born down there , and there is a lot of bad stuff going on down there , they don’t need someone in charge that doesn’t give Her Allegiance to America
That’s what said don she has no loyalty to who she serves
No room for he .
get rid of her sorry $#%&!@*
It’s not hard to see the Muslims infiltrating our public services; it’s just a matter of time before we’re taken over…..
I would defend any cop any time. But that cop had better defend the cons$#%&!@*ution, not some punk that tells him to do something against the cons$#%&!@*ution.
GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY THEN!!!
AS A POLICE OFFICER IF HE DOESNT PLEDGE TO OUR FLAG HE HAS NO BUSINESS BEING A OFFICER. TO BE AN OFFICIER TO TO UP HOLD THE LAWS OF OUR COUNTRY THAT INCLUDES PLEDGES TO OUR FLAG. iT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A REGLIGION
