FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOV.com) – Missouri State Senator Jamilah Nasheed had a gun in her possession at the time she was arrested Monday night outside the Ferguson Police Department, according to Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson.
Nasheed declined comment about the having the weapon, but did tell News 4 she has a concealed carry permit.
Sources also told News 4 Ferguson police requested St. Ann to administer a breathalyzer test at the time of her arrest, but Nasheed refused to do so. Nasheed said Tuesday she was not intoxicated at the time.
Nasheed was formally charged with Failure to Obey Lawful Order of Police and Manner of Walking in the Roadway. She was released from St. Ann jail before 11:00 a.m. Tuesday morning.
"It was a symbolic arrest - sending a message to the protesters that we can protest peacefully and that we must protest peacefully and that we want justice for Michael Brown, but we don't want it in vein," Nasheed said outside the jail Tuesday morning.

Be nice. Translating from African to English can be difficult.
Around here the rule of thumb is DO NOT TAKE BREATHILIZER TEST.
Unless you are sober.
Much less in penalty and insurance increases if you go that route
The D party was taken over by a very dangerous enemy element (and supported by a number of well-intentioned “liberals” who, in some instances at least, did not fully understand what had taken place).
We need to get the message to these D voters... that EVEN IF THEY WISH TO VOTE D and SUPPORT Big=Government, High Tax policies.............that they should NOT vote for enemy agents or their supporters ...... that they can (just temporarily if they wish) safely vote R ... just to remove the Enemy Within ....that this is of the highest possible importance.... and later on they can then return to csting votes for a restored D party ... one that is at least loyal to America .... regardless of its economic or social policies.
I think the message can be communicated successfully to a lot of D's (who are NOT disloyal to USA, they just have different economic policy views is all),... if we try....
OK, now call me naive..... I can take it.
But, I have to go offline awhile anyway, so don't expect a retort. Sorry, but I really do have work to do, not being signed up for the dole just yet. Thanks.
Punishment for refusing to supply evidence against oneself is not something I would support. If the cops had probable cause to suspect intoxication then they should have been able to obtain a warrant for a blood test.
Revoking a concealed carry permit in some jurisdictions is equivalent to a lifetime ban on bearing arms.
Ultimately, tho, the 2A supporters here on FR should be in agreement with her refusal to the breathalyzer.
Whether inebriated or not, she did not use/brandish the weapon and informed the po-po that she had a license. If the officer smelled alcohol on her breath, that is not sufficient evidence -in this instance- to require a BAC blow; she was not operating a vehicle.
Sorry, but those kinds of very basic errors just distract me...
It demonstrates an inept English grammar and comprehension capability on the part of the reporter/editor.
There is a “grammar check”...but even then...I’m sure “social justice” matters are more important in the curriculum dept. than preparing kids to actually function in society.
I have seen similar from “pedigreed” engineers...
In vein.

Her defense will say she was going or coming from the shooting range . .
No.
——in vein——
Justice is seen as a drug to soothe the troubled savages. It is best administered in vein
It looks to me as if the good people of the St. Louis area are getting the Government they deserve.
Nothing to be sorry about. If I had a dollar for every time a student "defiantly" agreed with something because s/he was too lazy to realize the word was "definitely," I'd be out of medical debt, retired, with a vacation home on Eleuthera.
Ooooh, I’ve seen that one as well...how does one get there from “here”?
Even phonetically, I just can’t see it.
Deafunetly?

Yes, and in MO, no laws were broken as to carrying while drinking. In order to get charged with unlawful use of a weapon, she would have to have to brandish or otherwise handle the fireare.
“Ja-Mil-Ah had a gun......”
we want justice for Michael Brown, but we don’t want it in vein,” Nasheed said outside the jail Tuesday morning.
Did she do her own quote? I wonder.
No, "definatly," which is probably a second-level misspelling of the misspelled "definately," since the MS spell-checker corrects the latter accurately.
It doesn’t matter what the decision by the Grand Jury is there will be riots in Ferguson . They will either riot because the Grand Jury refused to indict or they will riot in celebration of an indictment either way they will riot & either way the MSM will cover the violence with glee.
