Carol Gotbaum's tragic death

As I was beginning to blog on the topic of “latinos”, I came across a different story that I wanted to blog about. The article was called, Police release video of airport arrest. “See how cops handled woman.” Carol Gotbaum was not able to board her flight in the Phoenix airport, and therefore, started yelling, screaming, and causing a scene. Cops arrested her for disorderly conduct. I watched the video of the officers trying to arrest her, but she was resisting arrest. I think the media used gender to pull readers into this story. I inferred this from the title of the article. Even though the article sounds like it is going to be on the woman’s side, it wasn’t really. The officers left Carol in a holding cell alone for 6 to 8 minutes, which is allowed by the law. While she was in the holding cell, she somehow commited suicide. I do not believe it was the officer’s faults because they did not know she was going to be suicidal. Later, it was found out that Carol was on her way to an alcohol rehab program. Also, her husband stated that he was upset with how things happened and that he felt his wife could be suicidal. In my opinion, Carol's husband should have gone with her to drop her off at the rehab facility if he knew she had a past of alcohol and suicidal thoughts.
