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:
Should be American first and then to serve the people not herself
Don Johnson the only person that control what you believe in is you .
If every ins$#%&!@*ution and organization modified or allowed special treatment for every individual employed chaos would result. Just think of 5or 10 people you know there is something special to each one , religion , politics , gender, sex, tats , hair any thing it does not matter. When you change an ins$#%&!@*ution to accommodate Every one it becomes disfunctional
There fore the individual must accommodate to the ins$#%&!@*ution or go some where else .
She needs to go or change her ways,but,didn’t Obama pull the same sh** when he first went to the white house??
Why is he the chief?
Remove this moron from her position.. Dammed shame the US is coming to this .. I’ll bet you anything this POS didn’t serve in the military…terrible woman.. I hope she responds to this .. I’d welcome a hardy exchange of words
Sooooooooo WRONG..!!!
We are coming close to the beginning of the end.
Then fire the bastard on the spot… this is America
Then fire her Simple as that
So – what does the Pledge of Alligiance have to do with belief in Islam? That police chief needs to find employment elsewhere.
