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.”

ALL MUSLIMS BY THE NATURE OF THEIR RELIGION AND BELIEF IN THE KORAN ARE PAEDOPHILES END OF BEING CHIEF
Kinda un-American! Maybe she could be a cop in Saudi Arabia or some other muslim country where she doesn’t have to be ashamed of her country’s flag or promise to defend it and the people she serves.
She needs to be fired for a number of reasons. She’s also supposed to be setting an example for the officers underneath her. With her actions the department could be utter chaos as others would be right to say if she doesn’t have to neither do I. For those arguing the military point I say BS….she still is a public servant and needs to be setting an example for the department as well as civilians.
fire her she’s a terrorist
How can one agree that this is America anymore?
You have absolutely ZERO IDEA why she as an American Citizen exercised her first amendment rights NOT to put her hand on her chest for the pledge. Pretending that you know is just nonsense. If she rejects the government why does she work for it? 32 years of service apparently means nothing…..but some symbolic gesture of submission is all that matters apparently.
Send her back to the muslimpig $#%&!@* hole she came from, she is not wanted in America.
Of course there is no allegiance; as a muslim there is only one allegiance… the caliphate and mohommad
Only people who pledge Allegiance to The United States in WORD & DEED should be allowed to hold Public Office.
Don Johnson when you sign up to protect your HOME you’d better pledge you allegiance to protect it. She could have nullified th God part as I don’t believe in a god.
