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 the piece of shir and send him back to where he belongs this is the USA and if you don’t love it leave
Fire the $#%&!@*hole
I agree totally
That is his choice,however he needs to be in another country with flag he does like
You didn’t read! That cop’s a “SHE”.
If you are to be a part of the USA you have to respect the banner that represent the nation. If you want to hold on to the past or the nation you came from, you are in the wrong place. Go back to where you came from, we don’t want or need you. What is going to happen here? I would like to be kept in the loop. Must be a weak mayor and police chief. How did this person get the job, kiss $#%&!@* or sleeping with the wrong person? Makes one wonder.
Perhaps his loyalty to those he swore to protect. Suggest he head for some of those country’s who treat their women like slaves or chatteled servents
Why is the peace of trash still working???
Fire the mofo
Ok….I have no idea who exactly is supposed to have “no backbone” here. I think (correct me if I am wrong) you are saying that the governent has no backbone to force this woman to pledge allegiance……which is funny that you would side with the government. Considering you just cited America not being built by cowards…because those cowards were fighting against government for freedom. A freedom that they subsequently won…and that she exercised in this act….and as well as freedom she has defended in Miami for over 3 decades….
shoot the black $#%&!@*
