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:
She is a police chief, that’s all she does is desk duty
(shakes head) this Shariah Law wont save anyone….if they refused to say one nation under God….then its thier promblem not ours and this nation is indeed falling away from God
Beats me
She was wrong but then how did she get job to start with they don’t belive in our laws
She doesn’t belong representing the USA if she doesn’t believe in it.
I wonder if he pledges allegiance to Barrack Obama or Hedley Lamar? And what are the crime rates in Miami doing?
She can say it but when it come to (One nation under God). She can skip it and still put your hand to the chest.
She needs to be terminated immediately for conduct unbecoming of an officer…..I’d like to know what oath of office she took if any??????
A Muslim should never be a Police Chief!
Holy c**p!
