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.”

Why would she ever be in that position in the first place….
Then fire his rag headed $#%&!@* and give him some pork as a parting gift
After 32 years on the force…perhaps she EARNED it…..
FIRE HER $#%&!@* !!!!!
Tell him to go back to were his old country
fire her!!!
But your original point was that this was not a muslim country…..ok……I agree. But it also is not a christian, jewish, hindu or any other particular religion contry…because a country with one religion is a Theocracy. How you turned that into a discussion about Fema Camps is beyond me….
Regardless of whether she earnes it, I can tell you what would happen when I was in the Marines if I displayed disrespect to our flag or our country
One might $#%&!@*ume she has upheld her oath with 32 years of service….
And that flag has earned her respect Mr. Johnson. Even more so.
