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.”

Get her out of there. She is a danger.
Love it or leave it
She shouldn’t because she is an evil person just like you don Johnson. You are a facebook troll a stupid liberal who is it pro Muslim.. with $#%&!@*sexual tendencies and a panache for buggery
Right now this country is being infected on many fronts. The word god can mean many things. Her god can take the place of she wants, but completely neglecting the oledge at an event like that is inexcusable in my opinion. We have these debates for reasons, to help come to conclusions and possible outcomes that please everyone. I would fight anyday for her rights, but this country is what is allowing her to exercise rights. To pleade allegiance to it is NOT asking too much of her. Leaving the word god out…. i personally wish it wasnt there too. Gov and relig shoild be completely seperated. Def tru, but it has become socially acceptable to leave out those 2 words if you want to
Fire them now no exceptions!!!
The $#%&!@*sexual Don Johnson can….
Don you are losing the battle and the war.STOP.you just dont get it.
That pledge is why soo many have died, so yes…it is VERY important if you live in this country
