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:
They r problematic in every country. Bring them out from 2000 years old lies and believes.
You live in America….Honor America or leave…..We pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.
I keep repeating the question..what makes you diff from all the past immigrants who $#%&!@*imilated? Whats ur agenda?
Get rid of these $#%&!@*holes.
WHY IS HE $#%&!@*T. POLICE CHIEF~~~
This is a disgrace. So is the one in the WH.
Get it out of there.
I can believe it, look at those frat brothers from the ZBT Fraternity that on Friday urinated on a US Flag at a Christian gathering in Florida/same town as that Gang rape on a beach by 4 black guys on a white college girl. ( a Bar/Restruant) belittling Veterans attending.
Because they believe in the Propaga and that Obama , Holder, Sharpton, NAACP, and black protesters are spreading around that America is a Nation of White Supremist. She should be fired from the force because she takes a Oath and Swears a Alligence to our FLAG and Country.
Simple – YOU ARE FIRED! If they will not uphold the Pledge of Allegiance, how can they uphold their pledge to uphold the law?
