tv Caught on Camera MSNBC March 22, 2014 4:00pm-5:01pm PDT
4:00 pm
sitting protesters doused with pepper spray. >> i was really shocked, and pretty angry about sort of having handled that. >> a slithering snake on a windshield. >> that was totally unexpected. and two old-timers battling it out for old time's sake. >> that was not a fun day. videos that make you want to do a double-take. >> we weren't expecting that at all. stories so shocking -- >> oh, my god. i thought she literally lost her mind. >> -- so unique, so original -- >> i dreamed up the whole proposal.
4:01 pm
>> -- it will have you saying -- >> can't believe that just happened. >> that really happened. >> is this really happening? "caught on camera: did that just happen?" >> shame on you! >> protect yourselves! >> while i was there, it seemed like an eternity. looking back, it's really just a couple seconds of a short video clip. >> "time" magazine proclaims the year of the protester in 2011 as the occupy wall street movement launches protests nationwide. from major cities to college campuses, americans rally by the thousands to make their voices heard. and at the university of california at davis, just outside of sacramento, students stage an occupy movement of
4:02 pm
their own against a proposed tuition hike. steven mccone is a sophomore at the university and an aspiring videographer at a student-run tv station. >> i would say the general reaction is sort of pretty upset that tuition is still going up and people are, you know, of course, angered by that. >> what begins as a week-long peaceful exchange during the third week of november 2011 escalates into a global spectacle. on thursday, november 17th, a few dozen students pitch tents ala occupy wall street and stay overnight on the campus squad. the next morning, the campus police repeatedly warned them to break down their encampments. >> you have been given several alternatives. >> that afternoon, campus cops
4:03 pm
decide to take action. >> around 3:00 p.m., we were all up there, sort of waiting in anticipation for how they're going to handle this. and the word sort of spreads around that there's 50 or so riot police that are approaching the campus. they were told that they had to leave, and -- by the police, who then started to sort of advance. >> boo! how does it feel? >> those who don't comply with the police order are arrested and detained on the spot. ten people in all. >> the only resistance they were met with with people who just went limp. nobody was resisting arrest, or doing anything to fight them. except just going on the ground and going limp. >> you're supposed to be protecting us! >> the crowd was sort of
4:04 pm
chanting for them to let them go, and to try and get them to release them. >> as the protesters chant, they march toward the police and the arrested individuals who lie face down on the ground, eventually surrounding police making demands of their own. >> if you let them go, we will let you leave! >> looking around, you couldn't really tell who was part of the protest and who was just there to see it as a spectacle. >> the police give the sitting protesters a warning about what will happen if the students continue to block their way. >> the lieutenant who ends up giving the order later actually warns each student, and says, if you don't move, you're going to be pepper sprayed. >> you're shooting us for sitting in? no, that's fine, that's fine. >> true to his word, lieutenant pike sprays the sidewalk blocking students for roughly 15 seconds. >> oh!
4:05 pm
oh! >> as onlookers shriek and scream out for the officer to stop. >> you don't really expect that after, you know, a peaceful crowd forms, that they'll be met with that kind of force, or that kind of action. i was really shocked. and pretty angry, really, about sort of how they handled that. >> steven is not alone in his feelings. >> the force by the police was unwarranted. this was a nonviolent peaceful protest. >> these are not the rights that can just be trampled on, especially not by people who are supposed to be protecting me. >> definitely a feeling in the air that's turned their anger more towards the police, i think. pretty angry at what's just happened. >> according to the university of california's police policies and administrative procedures, chemical agents are used to minimize the potential for injury to officers, offenders or
4:06 pm
to other persons. they should only be used in situations where such force reasonably appears justified and necessary. nine students doused in the spray are treated at the scene. two more are taken to a nearby hospital, and later released. but before the dust even settles, the footage is already out on the web. >> at the time we just figured that, you know, maybe more people on campus would be watching this and maybe people locally, or in sacramento. but no idea that people around the world would be viewing this in the next few days. >> an ugly incident on the campus of university of california davis is drawing outrage nationwide. >> the next day the chancellor expresses her own personal remorse over the incident. >> i'm here to apologize. >> lieutenant pike and another police officer involved in the spraying are placed on paid administrative leave. 19 students and alumni involved in the spraying filed a lawsuit
4:07 pm
against uc davis claiming the university used excessive force to break up the demonstration. in april 2012, an independent task force concludes that the pepper spraying incident should and could have been prevented. the police chief has since resigned. >> i think the pepper spray incident will definitely have an effect on how police interact with students, and how they deal with similar issues in the future. >> coming up, two old-timers from the gridiron attempt to settle an old score. and, an unbelievable sight when two whales breach just feet from the surface. >> they've never seen anything like it. i'm beth... and i'm michelle. and we own the paper cottage. it's a stationery and gifts store. anything we purchase for the paper cottage goes on our ink card. so you can manage your business expenses and access them online
4:08 pm

4:11 pm
stun the crowd when they turn a reception into a rumble. >> i'm a fun guy. unfortunately, that day was not a fun day. >> to tell the story of this bizarre "caught on camera" incident, we must first turn back the clock. angela moska was a tough big guy playing college at notre dame. >> the game was tailor made for me. i was a very physical player. and at that time, the head slap was in. i did all this physical stuff. which was right down my alley. >> when it's time to turn pro, instead of signing with the national football league, he decides to take his talents north. >> at the time a canadian football league was playing bigger money than the nfl. i said, i don't know what the cfl is all about, but i know one thing, i'm going here.
4:12 pm
i was very, well, a bad boy. i was the bad boy of this league. >> in 1963, he's playing for the hamilton tiger cats. and his bad boy reputation is about to go from famous to infamous. it's nearing halftime at the cfl's championship game, the gray cup. his tiger cats are playing the british columbia lions. the lions' number 15, willie fleming, has the ball and is on his way down to the ground, when mosska comes down for the play. >> i went over the top. caught the back of his head. and there was no penalty called on the play. >> he takes the pitch out. nabs the elusive willie. >> fleming leaves the game with an injury. >> uh-oh, fleming appears
4:13 pm
injured. >> and mosska's team goes on to win the championship. >> that's part of the game. i played the game the way it was designed to be played. it was just one of those unfortunate plays. just because i did it, it just so happened to have a stigma attached to it that it was a dirty play. >> the bc lions exact revenge, beating hamilton in the gray cup the following season, which would seem to have settled the score. but did it? fast forward 48 years. it's november 2011 at the cfl alumni legends luncheon, to raise awareness about the retired players with personal, physical and financial woes. 74-year-old mosska is seated at the same table as his former teammate and retired bc lions quarterback joe capp, also in his 70s. >> i didn't even know he was going to be there. this was all news to me.
4:14 pm
>> capp, who later went on to play in the nfl, declined our request for an on-camera interview. however, both capp and mosska accuse one another of mumbling disparaging remarks while seated at the table. they had just finished watching a clip of that questionable play, when they're asked to take the stage together. then, in what can be called an act of half-hearted sentiment, capp appears to extend the olive branch, a flower from a table centerpiece to mosska. >> when he stuck the flower in my face, i thought, well, maybe you should stick it somewhere where it will really grow. >> the crowd roars with approval, thinking it's all an act in good fun. but after a second attempt by capp, mosska snaps. >> i don't know what his intentions really were. because he didn't realize i was going to retaliate the way i
4:15 pm
did. i mean, that's the way i was. and that's the way i'm going to be. i'm not going to change just for joe capp. >> capp reacts to the cane swat with a few rights of his own, sending mosska to the ground. it's a scene right out of professional wrestling, which coincidentally, which is what mosska did for several years after retiring from football. >> i have wrestled probably in 40 different countries. my wrestling name was king kong. coast to coast like honey and toast, baby. >> could the 70-something smackdown be a premeditated gimmick? >> first of all, if i did it as a wrestler, i would have been on top of joe, not on the bottom. i haven't lost too many matches. it's an incident i wish hadn't happened, really. >> moments after the brief brawl, capp addresses the crowd. >> sportsmanship! >> the crowd shouts back for capp to move on.
4:16 pm
>> i'm trying to let it go. >> then the emcee steps onstage, attempting to defuse the awkward moment. >> with that, mosska speaks. >> i still don't believe this happened. but if that's the way he feels, that's fine. he's carried this for 48 years. >> ironically, the mayhem these two hall of famers create overshadows their original intent, to draw attention to the dire needs fund. >> i just wanted to get something going, see what we could do in the league and help guys that are not as fortunate as i am. i wasn't there for the physical part of the whole thing. whatever joe was there for, he was there for the wrong reasons. >> capp apologizes for holding on to the past. >> all i can do is apologize.
4:17 pm
and i hold a grudge for a long time. but i came here today, had a flower in my hand and i tried to give it to this fellow. >> but before capp leaves the stage, he tells one story too many. about fleming's dog, apparently named after mosska. >> fleming said i named my dog angelo. my dog is angelo. and i kicked the [ bleep ] out of that dog every day. >> so one of the most discussed elderly fights ever proves one thing, that holding on to the gray cup can last but a moment. but holding on to the gray cup grudge can last a lifetime. >> if you want to carry a grudge like that, oh, my gosh. and 48 years later? gosh, i hope that i can dream about joe like the way he's been dreaming about me.
4:18 pm
coming up -- a close encounter with the world's biggest creature. >> with nature it's unpredictable. you never know what might happen. and talking about unpredictable. a snake on a windshield? >> that was totally bizarre to me and totally unexpected. when "caught on camera: did that just happen?" continues. [ male announcer ] it's simple physics... a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms.
4:19 pm
but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.
4:20 pm
don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. more than a new interior lighting system. ♪ it is more than a hot stone massage. and more than your favorite scent infused into the cabin. it is a completely new era of innovation. and the highest expression of mercedes-benz. introducing the 2014 s-class. the best or nothing.
4:21 pm
what would you do if you suddenly found yourself just feet away from the largest living creature on earth? captain ahab, watch out. >> with nature, it's unpredictable. you never know what might happen. >> this couple has been together for more than a decade and share a mutual passion for kayaking through the southern california bite of the pacific ocean. over the past few years they've gone on countless day-long kayak adventures together.
4:22 pm
sometimes paddling out several miles. >> i say a prayer when we paddle out. i ask for god to watch over us. >> we've kayaked around the channel islands. it's beautiful being on the water. the thing i like most about kayaking is being out in nature and seeing all the wildlife. one day we were surrounded by thousands of dolphins. and sea lions. every time you're on the water, something unusual and remarkable. so i enjoy being out there. >> but whenever rick and suzy are out in deep waters, several miles from shore, they can't help but hope to one day get lucky, and get an up-close view of the giant blue whale. >> some weekends are hit-or miss. you have to get incredibly lucky to have one come near you. >> they're usually off in the distance. you just kind of yearn to be closer to them, you know. it's just amazing. >> it's early october 2011, rick
4:23 pm
and suzy spend the morning paddling out roughly six miles into the pacific, when rick gets an unexpected greeting. >> all of a sudden i hear -- whoosh! i thought, is that me, or did i just hear a whale. sure enough, a whale had just surfaced not too far behind me. out of nowhere came this big lung right next to the kayak. that's really exciting. that's the closest, most exciting moment i've had with a whale. when i was on top of the water, and you have the whale surfacing near, that's exciting. >> moments later, rick does what few would dare to do. he attempts to get even closer by climbing out of his kayak into the ocean with a mini cam strapped to his forehead. all to get an underwater shot of this mammal that is roughly as long as three school buses. >> really peaceful. it was a peaceful, magical moment. >> rick finds himself face to
4:24 pm
face with old big blue, a rare occurrence for even the most faithful whale watchers. >> you try to look at the conditions before you go out. so many factors need to come together when you're on your kayak. the whale needs to be approaching you. it seemed like a million to one shot. so i had my fins on, mask and snorkel around my neck and camera running. >> rick gets the shot he wants, but according to the national marine fishery service, vessels should get no closer than 100 yards to the whales, nor should they interrupt a whale's swim patterns. >> we don't feel like we're altering their behavior at all. they accept to accept the paddle boaters and kayakers in the area. >> after celebrating with exuberance rick posts his video online. immediately afterward he's informed by someone at the national oceanic and atmospheric administration that his once in a lifetime experience will remain exactly that -- a one-time deal.
4:25 pm
>> he asked for safety reasons, to refrain from swimming with the whales again. not wanting to encourage others, and post a disclaimer on my website. and i also posted a link to the noaa guidelines. my one concern is not to encourage anybody to cross the line into anything that would be construed as harassment. >> their experience receiving more than 1 million hits. and in some ways, rick and suzy feel that they've fulfilled a life-long dream. >> how many people get to see the world's largest animal on the planet, bigger than dinosaurs, and to have that moment with them, you know. you want to get -- i get emotional. you just want to connect with them. >> it was really exciting. a few minutes later it really set in, like, wow, did that really just happen? unbelievably, it happens again. another rare encounter with not one whale, but two. this time up north along the california coast in santa cruz. >> in 20, 30 years, they've
4:26 pm
never seen anything like it. >> it's late october 2011, and friends barbara and adam spot several humpback whales in the monterey bay practicing a feeding technique called bubble neck feeding. where the whales blow bubbles to create a food ball. >> that food ball moves around like a lava lamp would move around. so the whale will then come from up underneath and come up in the middle of that ring of bubbles with a mouth open. >> like many whale watchers in the area, barb and adam rent a kayak and paddle around the bay, having no luck spotting any humbacks, they begin paddling back to shore. >> we saw these birds. i thought, let's go over there. it was out off the shore. lo and behold, there was a whale. we got maybe three spouts or something. and we were so ecstatic. >> i was watching where they had
4:27 pm
been previously. and then all of a sudden they came up. we weren't expecting that at all. >> the next thing you know, they're coming right next to me. >> barb decides to focus in on a woman wearing a bikini and lying on a surf board. >> the reason i was filming her is because she wasn't wearing a wet suit. and the water is freezing here. it's like ice water year round. so i was like, look at her without a wet suit. i had my camera on her. and boom, out of the water come these two hunchbacks lunch feeding. >> barb's perfect positioning and steady hand help her capture a stunning moment rarely seen. her video of this spontaneous humback lunge brings perspective to the enormity of this marine mammal. >> having that woman, and the kayakers in the background, gives you some perspective of how huge they are. they're 80,000 pounds, coming up
4:28 pm
out of the water. next to a human. you realize, wow, they are a human, magnificent animal. >> but barb's next thought is not far behind. >> i could see they were coming straight up. and they were going straight down. and i realized, you know, in is a little too close for comfort. it's time to get out of here. >> barb and adam paddle back safely, having been up close and personal with these 40-ton behemoths. when barb posts it online, it immediately goes viral, garnering more than 7 million hits with lots of surprising viewer input. >> we got all kinds of comments from, wow, oh, my god, to, this is fake. where's the wake from the whale. it got out of control. i just finally took it down. you know, just let the footage speak for itself. >> barb is in disbelief about the close encounter. yet after her experience, she's
4:29 pm
still torn about the relationship she and other whale watchers have with these marine mamma mammals. >> it was really a tug-of-war of, wanting to be close to them, and at the same time knowing, hey, we're in your space. coming up, you might heard about snakes on a plane. but a snake on a windshield? >> we were like, is this really happening right now? and who needs noef oh cane when a mini motorcycle will do. i'm nathan and i quit smoking with chantix.
4:30 pm
when my son was born, i remember, you know, picking him up and holding him against me. it wasn't just about me anymore. i had to quit. [ male announcer ] along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it reduces the urge to smoke. chantix didn't have nicotine in it, and that was important to me. [ male announcer ] some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away, as some could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping
4:31 pm
and unusual dreams. i had to quit smoking to keep up with this guy. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. i had to quit smoking to keep up with this guy. candice... (door-hey) you said in a focus group you'd "like to have a product that eliminates odors and doesn't just mask them." could you give us access to maybe the smelliest room in your house? -sure come on in. the trash is bad... oh yeah. ...and we just took it out. febreze doesn't mask odors, it actually eliminates them. it smells really nice. like fresher. another success story. (laughs) don't just mask odors; eliminate them with febreze air effects. and to continuously eliminate odors in small spaces, try febreze set and refresh. breathe happy.
4:32 pm
4:33 pm
buildings. no one was injured. the search has continued for the malaysian flight. no sign of it yet. now back to "caught on camera." imagine the reaction you'd have if while driving down the freeway you saw a snake slithering across your windshield. >> this is a water moccasin. a huge water moccasin. >> that was completely bizarre to me and totally unexpected. >> it's a typical summer afternoon for the fisher family of memphis, tennessee. parents rachel and tony are in their car with their three small children having just left rachel's parents' home. tony is in the passenger seat. and rachel is behind the wheel. >> we had been driving for about 15 minutes. and all of a sudden tony tells me, there's a snake head. >> i looked out of the corner of
4:34 pm
my eye and i was like, a snake head, and started studying again, and i did a double-take, and i thought, what in the world. >> i kind of look over for a minute, and he does a double-take, too, and gets out his phone. >> being a daddy of now three, anytime anything happens, your phone's ready to start videoing. >> we watched this snake skom out from in front of him on the passenger side and started rearing up in front of him and sliding across the windshield wipers and over to my side. >> before they know it, a 4 1/2-foot rat snake turns their routine into a terrifying adventure. >> i know nothing about snakes. i'm thinking it's a poisonous snake. at that point i'm freaks out. >> the next scary thought is the snake must have crawled up from the enjen, and if that's the case, they could slither back down into the car.
4:35 pm
>> could it get in through the vents? that's what we were thinking. we were going 60 miles an hour down an interstate. >> for now, the snake is hanging on. >> it stays on there for like over two minutes. we didn't see how it was going to fall off, how we were going to make it get off. i kept thinking, how are we going to park, how are we going to get out of the car, how are we going to get the kids out of the car. are we going to sling it and run away? at this point we're thinking it's poisonous. >> but it's not poisonous, but they don't know that. >> when it started to crawl down my door, it just gave me the willies. i didn't think about doing anything other than continuing to drive. >> you're not thinking about slamming on the brakes at 60 miles an hour pulling over to the side of the road to pull off to the median so it can live. you're thinking about your family's safety, which is exactly what we were thinking about. >> the snake falls off the driver's side mirror onto the road never again to be seen by the fishers.
4:36 pm
tony shows the video to a few amazed friends and then posts it online. within days, the video is everywhere. >> creepy stowaway made a f memphis family's skin crawl. >> the "today" show was calling. >> i don't know how they're driving straight. i would be off the highway. >> that would really get your attention. >> it's creepy. >> seeing the video on the front page of bbc news on their website, that was pretty crazy. >> it's a cool thing. if somebody had showed me to me on their phone, i would say, that's crazy. but i would not have expected it to go viral. >> however, with more than 1 million hits, many viewers criticized tony and rachel for how they handled the situation. >> from the youtube community, we've heard some hateful comments. and that was probably the most surprising thing of the whole experience, with the snake on the car video. we weren't out to kill a snake that day, we were just driving and that's what happened to us.
4:37 pm
>> the three small children seated in the back missed the entire ordeal. but some day tony and rachel hope to share their unusual serpentine encounter with them. >> as the kids get older, i think it's going to be fun to show them the video. i think that will be a neat little family story. >> for now, things are back to normal for the fisher family with one small exception. >> all right, we're good. what do you get when you mix the children of a risk-taking parent, a loose tooth and a mini motorcycle? a recipe for some of the oddest family dentistry ever caught on camera. >> i have all these cameras laying around. i thought, i might as well put them to use. >> he has two children, 10-year-old ruby and 7-year-old rowan. >> your classic siblings. they're always bickering over
4:38 pm
something. always out doing something, up to mischief. they're good kids, though. >> if you think dave's face may look familiar, it's because he's one of the guys in the cast of the jackass movie franchise. >> what we do isn't for little kids. i don't let them watch it in its entirety. but seth, the editor over at jackass, put together a little clip, safe enough i felt for them to see. >> a cast member grabs the kids' attention and never lets go. >> yeah! >> there's a stunt where they pull aaron's tooth out with like a hot rod or something. and i thought it would be really funny if we got a motorcycle video. >> and as fate has it, rowan happens to be at an age where loose teeth are in abundance.
4:39 pm
>> when rowan's tooth became loose, ruby wanted to do it. i kind of imagined what that would be like to be pulled out by a motorcycle. it didn't seem that bad. it came out pretty easily. as long as you get going in the right direction. >> it made a crazy noise. i thought, we should pull this tooth out with a motorcycle. >> of course. who wouldn't think of that. >> it's a huge hole now. >> i was standing there, and i was like, dad, we should do it. >> when the next one came loose, i said, we got it. >> ruby hatches her scheme with dad's approval. but what about rowan? he is the guinea pig after all. >> i wanted to do it. but when we were going to -- i felt a little scared. you don't want to think about it too much. >> with three cameras rolling, ruby ties a string around her brother's loose baby tooth.
4:40 pm
but not without rowan getting in a verbal jab or two. >> you don't know how to tie. your hand tastes disgusting. >> open up. i can't see. >> your breath stinks. >> lean backwards. >> your breath stinks. >> lien balean backwards and i' hold my breath. >> rowan reels in anticipation. ruby revs up the engine and lets her rip. >> it hurt just a little bit. >> the pint-sized stunt is executed to perfection. except for one minor detail. >> well, it got lost in the gravel. >> the loose tooth flies from rowan's mouth landing -- well, no one is quite sure where it lands. >> we didn't know if it was in the driveway or flew to the side. but it was probably in front by
4:41 pm
the gravel. so i thought that i was probably going to find it, but i didn't. >> there's a little lack of foresight there, where, you know, where the tooth would be left. i didn't think that one through. i was just thinking where is a good place for her to take off on the motorcycle. then we could not find the tooth. that's kind of unfortunate. >> as far as rowan is concerned, he has some explaining to do to a certain dental pixie. >> dear, tooth fairy, i am sorry i lost my tooth on the motorcycle. to make up for that, i wrote a note to the tooth fairy. so i would still get the money probably. but i still did. >> after viewing the video, one can't help but notice that at least in this instance, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. still, dave insists that the bumps and bruises he's taken on
4:42 pm
jackass have had a reverse effect on ruby and rowan. >> they're more cautious than the average kid, because they see me coming home beat up all the time. they don't want to end up like that, you know. >> hold on to that thought, dave, because according to your kids, they're not through yet. >> we're trying to make a kids' tv show. it's not going to be named jackass jr., but something like that. we ril i want to start that show, but we haven't been able to yet. coming up -- a couple's love story makes its way to the silver screen. >> it was just an unreal moment. >> but first, it's this couple that makes quite a scene. >> i hate you so much. ♪ oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, let's go, oh, oh, oh ♪ ♪ oh-oh, oh, oh, la, la-la, la-la, la-la ♪ ♪ na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
