hello, everybody. this is the show that brings you the best videos and stories from the web, "right this minute." >> a video that will knock everything but your socks off. a thief is chased by angry

crowds to strip him of more than his pride. it's on store shelves now, but should it be? people claim this doll swears at you. >> don't shake the baby. give me this. no wonder she swears. >> a video for twesweet potato ignited a bitter debate. >> is that a sweet potato or a yam? >> i'm confused. >> now we get the answer straight from the expert. >> a neighborhood is overrun with squirrels. but this woman says she's not going to stop feeding them. hear why neighbors think she's a few nuts short of a full bag. and meet the guy hunting for turtles who came eye to eye with a gator. we begin today's show with a story of crime and punishment.

you can fill us in on this one. >> if you're a thief, after watching this video you're going to think twice about stealing someone's purse. >> oh. >> i found this video on live link, and a thief tried snatching a purse from an old lady. she starts screaming for help. and the citizens around her came to the rescue. this video takes place in chile. he tries to run away but all the people around him captured him. they start beating him and can you tell what's going on? >> they start stealing his clothes? >> they start taking his clothing off. >> they took off his pants and underwear. >> as if that wasn't humiliating enough they made him take his own shirt off. >> of course they did. >> that's more embarrassing. >> well, they left his socks on. >> that's the worst look ever.

nude with white tube socks. wow. >> he tries to get help from the drivers that are driving past him. they're like no, you're on your own. >> who lets a naked guy into their car? >> he did end up getting arrested. you do see a police officer walk up to him and finally apprehend him and arrest him. >> the cops came up to him on foot. they didn't have to worry about concealing a weapon. >> that's what you get for stealing from an old lady. >> the stripping naked, that's a clever move. >> what about to just citizens' arrest? >> these are called the you and me interactive play and gigment triplet dolls. as you can see there are three of them. they make noises and movements. watch. here is where the controversy arrives. listen to this. tell me what you think that the doll is saying.

>> i don't know what it says but it sounds like the female word for dog. the b word. >> people are buying these dolls for their kids. they are $40 for the three dolls and they are getting them home and thinking that the doll is saying okay crazy bleep. these dolls are recommended for ages 2 and up. just imagine this doll in the hands of your 2-year-old. >> there has been one lawsuit from a woman who claims after her child played with this doll, her child started repeating the phrase. we have the attorney joining us to talk to us about these dolls. >> i got a call from a lady. you're probably not going to believe me but the doll is not saying things that i want my great niece exposed to. the child called her mother the

same word and her mother was extremely upset. >> the dolls are not supposed to say anything of real language. are we just telling ourselves that the dolls are saying something they are not. >> from what i hear, it is pretty clear what the doll is saying. you don't have to take my word for it. >> do you believe that someone maliciously programmed the dolls? >> my initial thought is certainly there is no way that a responsible company would have a doll saying this in every store across the united states whether it's intentional, we'll find out. >> we contacted toys r us for a comment but they did not respond by our deadline. >> you can't shake a baby. shaken baby syndrome. give me this. no wonder she swears. >> some intense dash cam police video from the indiana police department. this haened back in late october. the video was just recently

released. we're seeing the end of a four mile chase. that is paul spencer that just crashed into a tree. he gets out enraged, carrying a knife. you saw the knife in his right hand. he stabs an officer in the cheek. that causes two other officers to fire ten rounds. seven of them hit paul spencer. he died nine hours later at the hospital. >> wow. >> you would think that somebody who had been involved in an accident like that being chased by police, you wouldn't think they would jump out the car with that type of rage and energy. >> that was crazy. the guy just wrecked a car. >> his eyes were bulging, his face was blank. that was animal, almost. >> the family says that's not our uncle paul. they have come out and said i know that's him in the video but

i can't believe he would do something like this. he has been a good man to me my whole life. the family is saying they think the police used too much force. >> somebody used a knife and he cut an officer, police need to stop that person. >> the officers that fired those ten rounds, they were visibly shaken about what had just hand. officer webb saying i just shot that guy. i just shot that guy. distraught over what had just happened. >> we're coming up on the busiest travel day of the year, wednesday before thanksgiving is the worst day to travel. something like 23 million people are traveling throughout the thanksgiving holiday. at least it's not like this. this video is from last year but it's making the rounds again on the internet now. this is in india where people are trying to get on a train. look at this. this is the police guiding and

baiting these people as they get on the train. look at this. looks like the guy in the white shirt tries to skip the line or move up and this guy starts throwing hay makers at the back of his head. >> oh my gosh. this is a train. why are they only loading in that one door? >> the line is as long as the train to get through that one single door. >> one commenter said if you had been born and brought up in india you will know that this is not what happens every day. this is just the unreserved compartment of the train. first come, first serve. people are trying to beat out other people to get on the train and maybe that is what police have to do to keep order. >> that is a warning to reserve your ticket and your seat. >> that still doesn't make sense. >> this holiday if you are complaining because your bag doesn't fit in the overhead or

you have a middle seat on your flight, at least you are not getting beat up by a cop. >> we see video from the occupy protest of police officers using rubber bullets, pepper spray, tear gas. there is another device that is now reportedly being used by officers both on occupy wall street and oakland. it's called a long range acoustic device. we found this interesting video. it was used at the first time for the g-20 summit back in 2009. these devices can be hand held, carried or as you see in this video, they can be attached to the top of a police vehicle. and it emits a very high pitched noise around 130, 140

decemberables and can cause major damage to the ear and create major pain in the ear. >> this doesn't help? >> according to the manufacturers of the l-rad devices, it does help to cover your ears. you can see photos in the article of officers carrying this. these noises can cause permanent hearing loss, it can affect your balance as well. according to the people at l-rad, they are saying that the police use these kinds of devices in these situations to communicate over a large scale. >> communicate, all right. >> there are people there who are not there to protest or maybe have to be there. it seems irresponsible. >> police need crowd control tools. don't get up in the cop's face. you may get hurt. >> this guy may be the coolest teacher out there. >> my mind is blown right now.

how do they do it? >> we'll show you. >> and black friday is just days away. so does this surprise you? >> it's not the hottest thing i've done but it's pretty crazy. >> today is not their first day out there. when you hear how long they have been camping out you'll agrere

aneed a 55 inch tv and black friday is at the end of this week. do you think i should camp out at best buy and be first in line? >> i would be worried about you. >> i know two people with me. these two started camping out last monday for black friday. >> are you kidding me? >> what deal, what sale, how much money could you save that is worth camping out in a tent for a week? >> you could have made more

money they you are going to save. >> apparently the families are switching places. >> best buy is allowing this so far in advance? >> wftf talked to the manager. >> we think it's fantastic. we welcome everyone to come out. >> if you are a retailer in this economy you want people coming out. >> for two weeks to come in and get your stuff. >> i don't get why you would go the store a day before, let alone more than a week before. >> there is nobody else behind them. there is nobody else in line. you could not camp out and be the second person and get the same sale. you are only right behind them. >> it's not exactly like other customers goinga in and out of the store. >> i can't believe someone would wait outside for three or four five days. >> it's not the oddest thing i

have done but it's pretty crazy. >> i would like to hear stories from her life. >> oh wow. >> if my math teacher was this fun, i would love math. >> you'd be a mathematician? >> yes. >> and today's lesson is about the symbols of thanksgiving. >> this is is a cool teacher incorporating technology into his presentation. >> this is matthew weathers, a math teacher in southern california. and he does this all the time.

>> isn't that the coolest class ever? >> my mind is blown right now. how does he do this? >> the timing is impeccable. >> that blew my mind when he pushed it over to the other side of the screen. >> that was the coolest part for sure. clever dude. >> smart dude. >> you're welcome. >> so last week i introduced you

to casey stewart, the beginner cook who made sweet potato pie. we ended up in a 900 hour long debate about the difference between sweet potatoes and yams and whether or not casey was cooking with a sweet potato or a yam. >> i'm so confused. the images look just like a yam. >> they are all sweet potatoes. >> the yam sweet potato debate. >> we asked viewers what they thought and it is a toss up there as well. so i have charles walker from the sweet potato council of america. was the guy using a sweet potato or a yam? >> he was using a sweet potato and a yam. >> yay! >> oh! >> baking in the u.s., when you say yams you are also saying sweet potato.

my understanding is that word yam came from the word miami. it started with some of the slaves in the old south. it reminded them of the yams that they had had. >> so here in america, yams and sweet potatoes are the same thing? >> 99% of the time, the yams that you buy are sweet potatoes. >> if everything we eat are sweet potatoes, what is the difference between the sort of yellow looking sweet potatoes and the darker orange sweet potatoes that most people refer to as yams. >> there are three or four varieties that make up commercial production. >> so charles, basically what you are telling us is that we were correct because it really was a sweet potato that this guy was using? >> yes. it was a sweet potato. >> boy -- >> in this country what most people refer to as yams are the orange things because of the

linguistics and the history behind the sweet potato, the one that we commonly call a yam. >> you're reaching. >> the yam is a common name for the sweet potato is a way i would put it. >> but it's stale sweill a swee potato. >> you feel good? >> yes. >> ever wake up and think i'm going to dress up like a turkey today? well this guy did. the dance you're going to gobble up. wait until you see what happened just seconds before the spark. or black friday.
