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.”

How does the Asst Chief fulfill oath of office ?
To be Muslim, there is only one oath, and it is not to protect & serve.
Fire the sucker!
He should be fired. Who is he working for?
More nonsence. Wants to live in our country and reap the benifits but won’t pledge alligeance to our laws and our country.
Lives in our country. Earns a good living. Supposedly protects our citizens, and refuses to pledge allegiance? Buy him a one way ticket to camel land.
Your problem Miami. Deal with it.
