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 is a Muslim a police chief? Are you crazy?
What a $#%&!@*head!!!

Better yet lets force him to eat a BLT!!!
Fire the UN American infidel !!
Than how can he be given a job where he is expected and responsible to enforce the laws of this land? He is free to make choices for himself, and employers (government of otherwise) should have the right (common sense) to reject a person if, by their own choosing, they decide that they will not fulfil duties that go with a particular position/job.
This person then has no right to be involved with any kind of police force I. This country WTHUA !
DUMP THE mouslim
It’s actually a SHE…and she has been fulfilling her duties and enforcing the laws of this land for 32 years which is why she was promoted. Putting your hand on your heart for the pledge is not a law….
Actually she does have the right….
