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.”

Fire his stupid $#%&!@*!
“It could be an elected position OR a civil service opening position. If she was elected, I doubt that the fact that she does ‘NOT’ do the ‘PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE’ was ever discussed. Or, she might have ‘NOT’ come out of the closet about her Islamic belief. The ‘REAL QUESTION’ is just ‘WHOSE’ allegiance does she follow??? Does she follow Sharia Law completely OR does she follow the US. Cons$#%&!@*ution. She does follow the US Cons$#%&!@*ution to the point of ‘declaring’ her FIRST AMENDMENT right of Freedom of Religion and with that Freedom of Speech. Or in this case ‘LACK of COMMUNICATION SPEECH’. “This is the ‘PARAMOUNT’ consideration, as to her ability to lead a ‘POLICE FORCE’, that follows the laws put forth by the US Cons$#%&!@*ition. Anything < that is tantamount to 'insubordination' to the position that she represents!!!"
Fire their $#%&!@*!
And still in office? ? Wake up people we are getting what we are allowing! !!!
Disgraceful!
Agree! How does one hold a position like that and not recite the pledge willingly?
How did she ever get sworn in? That’s what I would like to know! ?
First American, Second a person who serves, serves, serves, serves and protects, Third if you are of another belief other than Christian or Jew, Get your silly $#%&!@* out of our revered uniform and go back to where you learned all that shi–……
then fire her
