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.”

I think this is over ur head. She served her fellow countrymen for 32 years yet doesnt respect nor appreciate the opportunity this country has given her. Solid employment, safety, rights, options, justice, family, health care….. its bullshyt. If you dont or cant respect the pledge to the nation for all its opportunities it grants you, under the guise of ” my religion”…… its a bs story and i as a citizen dont appreciate it. People are forgetting what others sacrificed for them to have this life….. Im done
So you dont like the US Cons$#%&!@*ution? Dont like the Freedom of Religion part? This is what you are saying if this offends you.
Don Johnson just hates this country because in school they made him ride the short school bus.. He is one of those special ed kids that couldn’t make it as anything… So he became a facebook troll and part-time $#%&!@*sexual
Don will be back in a minute he’s trolling on some of the upper posts… Is in a similar argument with about 3 other people
With all due respect none of that has anything to do with whether are not you could possibly know why she did what she did….which was the entire point I was trying to make.
Sad thing is that people are proud of her!
leave the country ! Bitah !
