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.”

She needs to removed from her position and fired
What part of exercising her 1st Amendment rights makes her Anti-American? I am afraid to even ask a close-minded person such as yourself what makes her a savage?
Just because you believe God should be in your church doesn’t mean that you support him being in the world. He also started as a minister but according to Wikipedia it doesn’t say that he stayed a minister through out his life or even was one when he wrote the pledge. Again it doesn’t matter what it started out as but what it is today. You do not look at a 100 year old instruction book that has been revised several times and believe that all it purports is perfect. today the pledge contains ‘under God’ and should be read by all those who are promising to serve the good of our nation and peoples. Whether that person is Christian, Hebrew, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or atheist. You are pledging to serve. Asking God’s protection upon our nation. Pledge or leave civil service.
Must be related to the Jehova Witnesses…
