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:
This nonsense needs to stop…This is America and We are a Christian Nation who believe and Honor the Pledge….If they can’t do that…we don’t want them here.
That just shows they have NO loyalty to ANY country!
Bah bye
I don’t agree with most of Obama’s decisions and wouldn’t have voted for him if you paid me. Saying that “No Muslim should be allowed to be a citizen” is DISGUSTING and demonstrates your bigotry…….clearly you don’t believe in religious freedom…or freedom in general. It’s a shame you are allowed to vote.
Fire her dumb $#%&!@*!
So Christians just don’t matter at all any longer, let’s not offend the idiotic muslims who want to kill Americans!!! I am so sick of the PC c**p!!!!! Or maybe this isn’t PC, maybe the stupid police chief is muslim!!!!!
I am so sick about hearing about the $#%&!@*ing muslims, It has gotten so out of control in this country, well they won’t change my mind.
We have been infested…
Why is this piece of c**p a chief of police?
Those who don’t Pledge to country flag should be fired from police service.
