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:
Fire her, if she can’t pledge to America she shouldn’t be policing Americans!!!
Dawn Johnson just another one of those stupid liberal Pro Muslim sympathizers with $#%&!@*sexual tendencies and A panache for buggery
Why be a part of the ceremony?! The ceremony wasn’t about celebrating the nation and its protectors….it was HER Promotion Ceremony. It was a ceremony to celebrate her service and her accomplishment.
And f.y.i yes I meant to call you dawn not Don
You shouldn’t be allowed to troll Facebook don Johnson. An attack innocent people.. Facebook who apparently love this country more than you do. Why don’t you just join your Muslim brothers overseas
Get the hell out of this nation then!!
The $#%&!@*sexual Don Johnson… Much like a neutered dog just doesn’t get it
Why don’t you celebrate kissing my $#%&!@* Don Johnson. you can follow it up with a ceremony of you sucking everyones $#%&!@*
For whatever reason a person chooses to make a statement that he/she cannot pledge allegiance (when that must be a serious consideration) that is their right – it should also be a reason to not offer the position – if a person gives clear indication that they do not accept the authority and guidelines under which the responsibilities of said job is to carried out. If only we could make our high paid political leadership be held to similar standards, we might have new found respect for our government.
Birds of a feather aren’t you don Johnson? … I mean you do support Islam
