Forget about America.
It is a fascista state already, when AC 360 and the newspapers make excuses and explain away the police state with unbelievable claims.
You know, like mercury being good for kids!
And, believe it or not, I watched it, but the TRANSCRIPT has been EDITED!!
Last night, Cooper and Cho were saying that Gotbaum died because she FRIGHTENED HERSELF to DEATH!
I'm not kidding. They had some fancy name I can't remember, like "ecstatic delusion" or something like that.
But the web has wiped clean any references.
Wow, CNN CENSORSHIP front and center!
The most TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS, huh?
Pffffffftttt!!!!
Especially when I find this brief passage in the Arizona Republic:
"The cause of death has yet to be determined. Although early news reports said it was believed that she was strangled by handcuffs, one psychiatrist said it's possible her heart may have given out under stress."
Whatever, CIA-NN. Why you CENSORING YOUR TRANSCRIPTS, shitters?
"ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: Two encounters with police to talk about tonight, one deadly, neither cut and dry, both raising troubling questions.
Exactly how Carol Anne Gotbaum died while in police custody remains a mystery. But, tonight, we have new exclusive details about her final moments in a Phoenix airport.
And, for the first time, you are going to hear from her husband about why he thinks her death could have been prevented. That's only on CNN.
Also tonight, an arrest in Florida turning ugly and caught on tape. The suspect, a teenager, weighs all of 90 pounds. She bit the police officer. He punched her. His boss is OK with that. Tonight, we will talk with experts about both of these cases and let you decide whether any lines were crossed.
Plus, a long-awaited debut for a veteran actor and Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson. So, how did he do in today's debate? And what does he really bring to the race? We will examine all those issues.
We begin with a CNN exclusive, new details about the final minutes of Carol Anne Gotbaum life. The 44 -- 5 -- 40 -- excuse me -- 45-year-old wife and mother of three died in a police holding cell at a Phoenix airport last month.
Now, police arrested her after she missed her flight and went into a rage. Gotbaum was on her way to an alcohol treatment program and was traveling alone. Her funeral was held this weekend in New York. Hundreds attended.
And CNN has obtained an exclusive audiotape of her husband's eulogy, with her family's permission.
I just spoke with CNN's Alina Cho.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
COOPER: So, Alina, you have an exclusive report on the investigation. What you have learned?
ALINA CHO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, the most interesting thing, Anderson, that we have learned is that the medical examiner, the same woman who performed the autopsy on Carol Anne Gotbaum, essentially went into the same holding cell where she died and -- and tried to recreate the scene.
She had officers handcuff her, shackle her, even secure her to a bench, put herself in the same position. And she was able to do this, interestingly enough, because she was about the same size as Gotbaum.
[Well, could the investigator REENACT what allegedly happened?
OBVIOUSLY NOT, since Cho drops this angle of the story right away!
So Gotbaum DID NOT STRANGLE HERSELF. It would have been impossible!!]
COOPER: And -- and there's the question about whether or not she was drunk at the time of her arrest. The toxicology reports have not been made public.
CHO: They haven't.
From what we understand, from our source, when those toxicology reports come back, several weeks from now, they will show that there was indeed alcohol in her system. Now, we have also learned from our source -- and this is very interesting -- that Carol Anne Gotbaum arrived at Phoenix Airport entirely sober.
COOPER: And how do they know that?
CHO: Our source tells us she sent a series of e-mails. She made a series of phone calls. And she was -- quote -- "entirely lucid."
Now, here's where the timeline comes in. Forty-six minutes before the flight, she apparently left the gate, went to a sports bar at the airport, by all accounts, had something to eat, likely had a few drinks.
["Likely?" Well, I suggest you contact the restaurant and GET HER BILL?
But no, the shit MSM would just like to imply she was drunk, and thus deserved to be killed by the cops!
I am so sick of AmeriKa's lying shit media!!]
Now, she went back to the gate one minute after final boarding was over, and she was told that her seat had been given away.
COOPER: And it's been -- when we look at that video of her initially, before the police get involved, where she's running down the -- the aisle, you know, yelling and screaming, initially, it was reported that it was the -- the fact that she didn't get on that first flight is what set her off. But you have found that that is actually not the case.
CHO: That's right.
Now, make no mistake. She was angry that she couldn't make that connection, but that's not what put her into a tailspin, according to our source. Basically, there's -- there's more to the story. She tried desperately to get onto this second flight about an hour-and-a- half later. That flight was also overbooked.
It's been reported that a man kindly offered up his seat to her, but she was told that she couldn't do that for security reasons. It would be a -- quote, unquote -- "security breach." And that explains something that a lot of people were wondering about.
[Then why did they give her seat away?
Wouldn't have that also been a security breach?
See how the fucking shit MSM gets tangled up in lying?
They think we are stoo-pid out here.
THEY ARE WRONG!!!!]
COOPER: Why she was saying she's not a terrorist.
CHO: That's right, why she was yelling and screaming: "I'm not a terrorist." COOPER: Interesting.
CHO: "I'm a sick mom," right.
COOPER: So, it came from -- from the -- the flight -- from the gate agent saying, it would be a security breach if I allow you on this flight.
CHO: A security breach, that's right, for someone to give up their seat and for her to take it.
COOPER: And Carol Anne Gotbaum's funeral was on Sunday. I know you have obtained an exclusive copy of audio from the funeral.
CHO: And we should make clear to our viewers, Anderson, that we obtained this audiotape with husband Noah Gotbaum's blessing.
Now, it was an emotional ceremony, the funeral.
COOPER: Yes. I have read -- I mean, it just sounds so devastating.
CHO: From all accounts, it was.
You know, he remembered his wife of 12 years as a loving mother, but he also became very passionate when he talked about how he thought her death could have been prevented.
(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)
NOAH GOTBAUM, HUSBAND OF CAROL ANNE GOTBAUM: If the airline or the police authorities had treated Carol with some modicum of sensitivity and grace, or one single person at that airport had put an arm around her shoulder, sat her down, and given her some protection, she might still be with us today.
(END AUDIO CLIP)
CHO: And we have also learned, interestingly enough, Anderson, that the Gotbaum family is still waiting to get back some of Carol Anne Gotbaum's effects, among them, her BlackBerry. Of course, investigators will want to take a close look at that.
But, on a much more personal level, they are also waiting for her wedding ring. You know, as you know, when people are arrested, police begin to immediately remove personal items.
COOPER: Sure.
CHO: And we have learned that Carol Anne Gotbaum's wedding ring was the one item she fought most to keep.
COOPER: It's such a bizarre story, still a lot to learn.
Alina Cho, appreciate the exclusive report.
CHO: You bet.
COOPER: Thanks.
And here is a letter from a Good Nazi:
"Gotbaum to blame for her sad death" Oct. 10, 2007 12:00 AM
It is sad that Carol Gotbaum died while in police custody at Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport.
It is also sad that so many people assume it was the fault of the police that she died in those circumstances.
Have you noticed that a considerable portion of our population will insist a perpetrator be presumed innocent until proved guilty in a court of law but that law-enforcement officers are presumed guilty until proved guilty?
The same people will often refuse to accept the decision of the judge and jury when the criminal is found guilty. Convinced that racism, homophobia, sexism or classism led to the conviction, they will then agitate for the person's pardon.
But when a policeman is found innocent, they insist that it was a cover-up and the officers were willing to lie to protect one of their own. Even when found innocent, they will still be treated as pariahs.
Had Gotbaum not been an alcoholic, had she not thrown a fit when she missed her flight, had she not demanded special consideration from the airline attendants, had she not refused to cooperate with the officers, had she not resisted arrest, she would be safely in Tucson in her rehab facility.
Her bad decisions and conduct cost her life. - John Waddey,Sun City West"
Really?
"When Gotbaum was found the handcuffs were in front of her body and the shackle was still attached to her handcuffs, officials said. They said the chain was not wrapped around her neck (CNN International)."
Fuck America and Amurkns!
They deserve what they get, and I hope YOU SUFFER, Amurka, under BUSH'S TOTALITARIAN RULE!!!
Just wait, Amurkn shit-eaters!!!
Just wait until it's you who dies because of "stress while arrested."
Then the MSM will just say -- like with Gotbaum -- that YOU ARE JUST CRAZY!!!!
