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 should be shot for treason.
If she disrespects the oath that much. Then she should be removed.
of course he is a muslim
If she doesn’t agree with the oath, she can’t be considered eligible for the position. It’s all about the law you’re willing to not only ensure that the you enforce, but follow as well. Only God is the higher authority.
Should be fired. No benefits. No pension. Behaving like a traitor.
When you take religion over community, state and country you should not be in a position of authority or power. Chances are the community will suffer when the religion conflicts with the community protection.
One day in the not so distant future, you people will see that the Muslims are only loyal to Mohammed. These people ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. Even the moderates are gonna surprise some of you and NOT in a good way.
Fire him, he is not trustworthy.
Fire,disrepectful of our flag will not stand
Good for her. Excercising her God given cons$#%&!@*utional rights.
