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 doesn’t pledge the oath then doesn’t have to follow no laws when serving and protecting the public. …..yeah good for her…..not us…the people
What else wont she support?
oh, the pledge of allegiance is quite different than the oath of office. regardless, no religious test can be required. read the US cons$#%&!@*ution, unlike the bible, there is only 1. or if you’re lazy google “us consitution oath of office”.
If you feel you cannot repeat the pledge go away
then throw the bum out
Fire her!!!!!
My words would sound like Trump. “YOUR FIRED”
Very old story,,, you should be reporting on how she got fired…
Should have never voted her into the FOP. I say they remove her for cause…..
Through her OUT !
