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.”

No oath no job.
If this $#%&!@*hole isn’t fired, Miami should hang is head in shame.
She is an American Citizen born and raised in this country…and as far as I know American Citizens have freedom to worship any god they want or no god at all. Sound like you disagree….
And we the people of the US are forced to pay for Mega Million Dollar churches since they avoid paying $82Billion a year in taxes…..
She has been enforcing the laws of the state and country for 32 years without any issues. And since you mentioned the Supreme Court….the Supreme Courts says you can’t be forced to say the pledge…..so it sounds like you don’t have a problem with her exercising her 1st Amendment rights here.
This is insane,what happen to the real America….The Giant (America) is not asleep it’s drugged…lets wake up Left and Right or loss your Country for good ,it’s happening if you like it or not ….Wakey,wakey !
then she shouldn’t be a cop, either
Fire her
Don’t hire someone who doesn’t believe in our flag. And they need to believe in our God.
FIRE HER WHY WAS SHE HIRED IN THE FIRST PLACE?
