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:
Anyone who refuses to say the Pledge should automatically be fired. Done deal.
he should not be in the police force then
Fire him.
better not make a comment it wouldn’t be nice
Well what is he doing in the police department
Then he should be replaced with an American not a forener
He is an American. His loyalty should be there not as a Muslim.
Why allow this lack of respect. Fire him
Multiculturalism is what destroyed the Roman Empire, America is doomed and it’s the Devils religion, Islam, that will do it
Fire the mutherfucker
