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:
Muslims as POLICE officers this not GOOD for this country.
Then fire him immediatelym
It’s a good thing she revealed where her allegiance lies that will save a lot of lives of those who thought they were protecting a life worth saving
Fire him
YOU’RE FIRED! GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY!!!! AHORA!!!
Kick her off the force!
So kick him off the force.
Any public official at any level who does not accept the pledge of allegiance should be canned immediately as a matter of law.
Fire her, if she does not honor our flag, or country, leave.
Miami’s city Council should fire that chief of police disrespect for our nations flag.
