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:
He should be fired right away that means he has no respect or allegiance to my country for which I fought and bled and very proud of my allegiance
Skumbag should be fired, it is this country that perserves her right to believe in whatever she wants to….. Disrespectful piece of filth.
How many of you read about this person???? It’s a woman. She doesn’t have any right to be on one of our police forces. Kick her sorry butt out.
This man does not have the balls to stand up for American beliefs, stand up far
then she should be relieved of her duties as a sworn officer, because her beliefs are stronger than her oath of office.
The comments I read are hypocritical… how can america support a freedom of religion but say she needs to salute the flag….? Hmmm sounds fishy! What about those who do salute the flag and still commit crimes in uniform…police brutality…we have heard of many men who served in us military and commit horrible crimes still….! So does saluting the flag make you a better american? I see adults with a small and very limited mind set. You wonder why the rest of the world doesn’t like America! I am an american….I love my country…I will fight for my brothers…but you can’t be mad because of a system your forefathers created and now that people are exercising that freedom you get offended because you “think” she should salute the flag….its a fuckin flag guys damn….America has committed so many crimes…horrible crimes ….ever since the Europeans so called discovered america until this day! But you like to sweep America’s dirt under the rug and forget about it as if your hands are clean…you guys are a bunch of hypocrites! Let her exercise her freedom… just as much as you cling on to the second amendment because you love your guns…this sickens me because when you think you should get your way and you don’t you start bickering and crying like little bitches….but you forget that good ol America has a constitution that supports her in every way..Americans don’t know how to fight anymore…you accept everything ….change laws…move everything around for tour benefit but nobody else can get the freedoms…..smh…all of youare
And now she has a legal license to kill infidels…Welcome to the new hell called Amerislam..
