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.”

WE AS AMERICANS APOLOGIZE IF OUR CULTURE OFFENDS YOU. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT THEN PLEASE GO BACK TO YOUR MUSLIM HOME AND ENJOY THE REST OF YOU DAYS WITHOUT THE FREEDOM OUR COUNTRY AND BELIEFS HAVE PROVIDED FOR YOU.
She should be investigated. Radicals are male and female. We don’t need a rad. Muslim as an $#%&!@*ist. Chief. They will kill you just as dead. They’re getting braver here. Consider all those training camps in our country try and just across the Mexican border.be alert.
Why can’t she enforce the laws…she has been enforcing the laws for over 3 decades. And she is an American Born US Citizen…who are you to say that she “doesn’t belong:. Considering she is in her mid-50’s my guess is she has lived in this country longer than you have.
Why was he even in this position?
Somebody just try to tell me that this mother $#%&!@*er is not going to be another Lee Harvey Oswald mother $#%&!@*er. His name is Don Johnson and he is a professional Facebook troll. spreading his communist agenda and pro Islam point of view first he will attack on Facebook. God only knows what this dumb$#%&!@* has planned in the real world. He is a Isis sympathizer but you can tell that by looking at him….
Really get out of our country!!!!
Doesn’t accommodating everyone = equality? Yeah..that sounds scary. What exactly is the drastic change that it would take to accommodate everyone in this case? Something as simple as removing “under god” from the pledge..that doesn’t seem so drastic….sounds like a secular government to me. And considering that “under god” was added 60 years after then Pledge was written….one might suggest that it never belonged there to begin with.
FIRED THAT $#%&!@*
Can you cite the statute that requires an $#%&!@*istant Miami police chief to place their hand on their chest during the pledge. I am curious if it is REQUIRED as you suggest.
Just how did he get into office???
