long. he is banging his head numerous times. worrying about him injuring himself and injuring the patrol car. he is calm for a moment. then it will escalate. he will be calm and then he will escalate again. just screaming. he didn't do anything wrong. >> i didn't do anything. >> calling for his mom. >> i want my mom. >> crying. fits of rage back to screaming again. kicking the back partition. then he will be calm again. it was an emotional ride for him. >> i swear to god. you do not [ bleep ] touch me. >> after a bizarre 15 minute car ride, he finally settles down when he arrives at the jail. >> i'm good. i'm all right. >> when he got to the jail, he was sweating profusely. he had a bruise on the crown of his head from banging his head on the partition. >> he was brought up on numerous

a kid's football game spirals out of control. >> he's coming after him. >> when the grown ups stop playing nice.
12:52 pm
>> october 13th, 2012. it's a hot afternoon in west park, florida. and the game between the west park saints and miramar patriots is even hotter, as they battle it out in the youth football semifinals. patrick manual, a coach for the miramar patriots, is excited about the game. >> there had been a lot of hype around the game. south florida youth football even has its own dedicated channel for youth sports. >> and deion robinson, a coach for the west park saints, is just as pumped. >> the atmosphere was good because it was number one versus number two and we wanted to see who was better, miramar or west park. >> it's the second half of the game, and the score is 8-6, patriots. >> every call was a big deal. there seemed to be a series of calls in a row that actually had both sidelines a little bit on edge. >> come on. we don't need any of these
12:53 pm
penalties. >> but when this referee calls two penalties in a row against the west park saints, tempers flare. >> he pulled a flag. when we asked why the flag was pulled, he said park. how can you throw a flag when the guy is almost on the field. when i said that, he threw another flag, unsportsmanlike conduct. >> this isn't captured on camera, but he says after the heated exchange, the referee shoved one of his players on the field. >> it was not a little bump. >> the alleged push on his player pushes robinson over the edge. >> that's when i come out there on the field, i'm telling him, you have to apologize to the pl player. he's telling me he doesn't have to apologize. >> alex chism, a patriots coach, watches as the confrontation unfolds. >> i wasn't standing that far away. i saw all of it. i'm saying what's really going
12:54 pm
on. i saw their coaches running on the field. at this time, all the kids just start bursting. so there's a lot of words exchanged. i guess the environment became too hostile, at that point, there's a referee with a white cap when we refer to as the white cap. he calls the game. >> the game is called, and the west park saints are disqualified, while the miramar patriots start celebrating. saints coach deion robinson doesn't act so saintly. >> deion, he started to trot behind the referee as they were trying to escort him off the field. >> he's coming after him. >> i'm like, okay, what the heck is going on? it was pandemonium. >> get the kids off the field. >> i take an arm to his mouth and i slap it. if you look at the video, it shows a slap. >> the blow knocks the referee to the ground. >> an open handed slap with my left hand, and i'm right handed.
12:55 pm
>> get the kids. get the kids. >> the referee quickly gets up and heads to the patriots sideline, but he's being followed. >> you have coaches, parents, everybody is coming on the field. everybody came to it. >> all these adults on the field, it's all this commotion. >> robinson lunges at the referee again. this time, a parent restrains him, and escorts him off the field, but the crowd is still stirred up. >> if you're looking at the tape, you'll see me in the right-hand corner. krm i'm getting in an argument with another guy. there's almost another fight right there. >> the heightened emotions start to subside and the crowd scatters. >> i think everybody may have been caught off guard, but i think everybody acted rationally and the best thing we can do right now is pack everybody up and get in our cars and get out of here. >> the fight makes headline news. and feeling pressured, robinson turns himself into the police
12:56 pm
two days later. he's charged with battery on a sports official and pleads guilty. he is sentenced to 18 months on probation and is no longer allowed to coach. >> what comes next? a father, you've got to protect. that's what i was doing. protecting. if i could have the game again and the same situation, if he didn't apologize, yeah, i would do it again. >> sometimes in sports, the action is on the sidelines. october 24th, 1992. louisiana. the turpin stadium is packed with excited football fans as they watch two rival teams compete for bragging rights. >> the atmosphere typical for a northwestern/uam game. pretty intense, great crowd. our stadium holds close to 15,000 and it was close to a sell out. >> even though the competition is fierce among the players, the
12:57 pm
real tension is brewing between the mascots. it's the ulm mascot, chief bravespirit, versus northwestern state university mascot, the demon. >> he came all the way over to the other school's side and tapped me on the shoulder and called me out into the end zone. i never went into someone else's turf like that. >> to the northwestern mascot, this behavior is crossing the line. >> i wasn't taunting him. i'm walking back to my side. and you know, you follow me out here. so i don't know what you want to do. only thing he said at first was, not to embarrass him in front of his school. >> chief bravespirit slapped vic the demon, and it doesn't go over well with the already agitated mascot. >> the main thing going through my mind when the slap in the face happened is i'm not going down in front of my school. i kind of lost it and went after him.
12:58 pm
>> did kind of indent his face a little bit. just a tiny slap that i did. i didn't know his whole head was foam. i thought it would have been like mine, a hard, hard helmet. >> vic the demon uses his gloved fist to deliver a blow to the chief. >> i realized, okay, well, he's not just play fighting because i didn't actually hit his person. i hit his foam head. it didn't even touch him. we're going to have to do this, i guess. >> the fight is now the main focus of the thousands of screaming fans. they kick and punch each other. vic the demon lunges at the chief and takes him down. but when the chief hits the ground, he breaks the unwritten rule in the mascot world. >> my head was ripped off. and from there, it's a little bit of a blur. the next thing i remember is kind of swinging him over my hip, sort of, and jumping on top of him. >> i was a bit concerned twh the mask came off, but at that point
12:59 pm
in time, the chief was on the ground. vic may have lost his mask, but the chief is the one who ended up on the ground. >> beheaded and out for revenge, shane goes after the chief's head, but his is tightly secured with a chin strap. >> i stood for a second and i grabbed his ponytail. the ponytail slid through my gloved hand and then i actually grabbed the two sides of his head and i was pulling. and i probably drug him five feet or something. that's the way i remember it. i may not have drug him very far, but then i pounced on top of him and shoved his head and i could see like this much of him. >> police separate the feuding mascots. they both throw their hands up and declare victory, while the chief's team wins the actual football game, two decades later, the winner of the mascot fight is still debatable. >> i kept my head on, so any time you lose your head, literally or physically, that's, i think, you're at the wrong end of the fight.
1:00 pm
>> he did throw his hands up in victory, but i was picked up for being on top of him. so i feel like personally that i was on top, so i won. action packed. dramatic. and, well, what can we say about this? you may think the u.s. is the caught on camera capital. but check out what the explosion of cameras in cars and all over the place have meant in russia. >> when i see a new video from russia, it's a little like christmas morning. you never know what you're going to get when you open the box.
