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:
So we must be required to pledge allegiance to your hateful god? I think not.
It’s a pledge to someone else’s god. There is a major difference
She exercised her first amendment right not to put her hand on her chest for the pledge. And by doing so she actually is demonstrating the beauty of this country…the freedom to disagree.
We don’t have freedom so everyone can agree with you….we have freedom so people can peacefully disagree.
Then go back and live with the Muslims.
God says every man will bend his knee in the end He said it I believe it Enough said!
Kick her $#%&!@* out of the country!
How is she arrogant? Because she believes she has the same 1st amendment rights as all other US Citizens? That’s not arrogant…that’s freedom.
Fire her..then $#%&!@* her up her pagan $#%&!@*
Kick her $#%&!@* out! She MUST take an Oath of Allefiance for office! ~Rick Magee, “OLON LABE” and they sked me why i left….
Too bad she’s not in her own country I’m sure they would never have been dumb enough to make her a sister police chief where she comes from because women are nothing over there
