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 should be fired !!
If you are not FOR the US …… you are AGAINST the US. Get out!!! we don’t need or want you here.
Because she doesn’t belong.. If she cannot enforce our laws then she should not be here because that is what her job is all about not forcing her own agendas.. This is not an Islamic country. I have known atheists who have been sworn into an office using books are there in the Bible. but all of them have pledged allegiance to the United States of America. Even when they left the part off about under one God. this is another one of the Liberals political statements
Those Americans don’t have to say the Pledge. Unless they are in an office that requires them to. an idiot like her should never have been elected to where she’s at. $#%&!@*uming she ran for chief and was not appointed.
So she is an $#%&!@*istant piece of c**p thank you for clarifying that Don.
I support a 40 percent retirement pay cut for ALL elected officials to include all White House staff n appointed members that were not elected!!!
Where did you get anything in any of your comments from this story Mr Don Johnson. No wonder Melanie left you
Perhaps you should act like she’s from this country then. obviously she is a traitor as are you. I notice you have commented on about 40 or 50 different peoples comments including my own you look like a liberal stooge
America comes first…that is why it’s called becoming an AMERICAN citizen…not a Muslim-American…it’s just American… She needs to go…but….that would be POLITICALLY INCORRECT…and we are going to die by political correctness…I guarantee it….
Fire her now.
