Muslim Police Chief Refuses To Salute Flag During Pledge Of Allegiance For THIS Disgusting Reason [VIDEO] A recently released video of a Miami police chief refusing to salute the flag during a Pledge of Allegiance ceremony has taken the internet by storm. According to reports, Police President Javier Ortiz was extraordinarily angry when he witnessed assistant chief of police Anita Najiy refusing to place her hand over her heart during the pledge. If youre not pledging allegiance to the United States, my question is what country are you pledging allegiance to? Ortiz asked of the Miami New Times. Anyone who isnt offended by that is not American, because when you become a U.S. citizen, you pledge allegiance to the U.S. Oritz went on to claim that Najiy had also failed to display the proper etiquette that must be exercised when wearing a law enforcement uniform. Some viewers suspect that Najiys refusal likely has to do with the fact that she is Muslim.
