It’s the very last line of this New York Daily News story:
Cops said Gotbaum was traveling alone and could not explain why she was in Phoenix or what prompted her anger. She was charged with disorderly conduct.
Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Andy Hill said Gotbaum kept screaming after she was placed in the holding cell, until cops realized she had been silent for several minutes and found her unresponsive. The county medical examiner has not determined a cause of death.
“The longest she was alone was five or 10 minutes,” Hill said.
She was handcuffed behind her back, Hill said.
But he couldn’t immediately explain why a distressed woman was left alone in handcuffs while seven police officers were in the security office.
That’s procedure?
That Carol Ann Gotbaum’s mother-in-law is a pubic advocate is beyond irony.
Finally, read this account. If you can’t related to what she was experiencing, count yourself lucky. I can also completely understand the validity of the last line there, “Family members were racked with guilt for letting her travel alone, sources said.”
Sigh. Tragic, tragic, tragic.

Thanks for sharing that – i’m going to guess it’s from a song and I’m too lame to know which one so I apologize. But thanks for reading and commenting.
Yes,it is from a hiphop song by Chamillionaire, called Hip Hop Police. I changed a few words relative to the situation.
Thanks. Watch, I’ll hear it all over the place now.
