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.”

Right we are not discussing the same thing – it was my point you were responding to and now I am off target – okay LOL did you want to blmae Bush or the crusades for you going off target – my point remains if one will not accept the guidelines (right or wrong) that define the job or position; than it is foolhardy to anticipate that that person will be as inclined to perform as expected under certain cir$#%&!@*stances. This is tiresome – you now elude to “under God” and religion as the critical factor – whatever reason if she/he cannot accept the spirit and framework, than don’t expect to be welcomed as a member of the team – because he/she declared they are not.
The answer a non American period a plant and infiltration of foreign influence
Take his job away
So the fact that she’s an American Born Citizen just means her family was a plant from the 1950’s……seriously?
Where does it say anything about her oath? Her oath and the pledge are two different things…you know that right? All she did was not put her hand on her heart for the pledge of allegiance. It helps to actually read the article.
