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.”

Sad. She needs to resign. What about the KY clerk?
Get rid of the traitorous liar , once it got her citizenship then it turned its back to the USA and decided it wants it her way not the way she has sworn to
This is America that Obama wants to raise
Get rid of him!
Why is he allowed to have such a job ? I bet he would make a hell of a good street sweeper ! Then he wouldn’t be expected to pledge to any thing but the dirt he belongs in !
Fire him. You can’t pledge allegiance to the country you live in, then you are not worthy of the badge.
If you can’t pledge allegiance to this country and to those you are supposed to protect, you’re unfit for the job. Ask Obama. He knows all about that.
POS
If he cannot Pledge Allegiance to this Country, than he should not be allowed to hold any leadership position.
Time to can him, but our leaders are too wimpy to do anything
