>> which she is pouring in cortes' mouth is cinnamon. >> see how stunts that are degrading and dangerous led to a one-two punch against the officers. a deputy pulls over a driver when -- >> another driver came and side-swiped him. >> how he took the hit and got back up. the audience was watching the vice president, but we were watching mr. sleepy pants. >> no, i'm up. this is cool. seriously seriously, this is good. >> and some piglets abandoned in a german forest are adopted we story. >> can you repeat? cops often use videos posted to peoples facebook pages. in this case, it was the cops who were posting the videos what you're about to see is an
4:02 pm
18-year-old named cortes martin, goes by the name tez. he is autistic. he was serving time for a misdemeanor. the other person you see is a city official. what she is pouring in cortes' mouth is cinnamon. you can hear people laughing in the background as martin runs out of the room. reportedly vomits in the bathroom. >> then they go and post the video. >> you think they would be smarter than that. >> at the beginning of the video, you hear him introducing himself and laughing along with everybody else. >> this is tez. he will do the cinnamon challenge. >> you get a sense that he is going along with the game. but it wasn't only this video that the officers posted. in this video, we're seeing police captain jimmy johnson boxing with mark. >> okay. nerve mind martin's mental
4:03 pm
capacity what are they doing goofing around on the job on city property like this. >> i'm not putting the mental capacity aside. even if somebody seems compliant, if they have diminished capacity you have to treat them with care. >> the community reacted immediately. because of this, jimmy my john was fired, the police chief was fired and two other city officials. there are two other videos of the police officers paying martin $5 for them to tase him and another boxing video. a clarksdale attorney is trying to get his hands on those videos because he's planning on suing the city on martin's behalf. according to reports, the district attorney and the fbi are also investigating this inciden incident. >> as drivers, when you see an
4:04 pm
emergency vehicle up ahead you move out of the way. on a florida highway, a trooper had pulled over a driver and look what happened. >> whoa. >> good grief, man. >> this is trooper daniel morley. as he was trying to deal with the person he pullinged over, another person came and side swiped him as he was trying to handle this traffic stop. >> it's not even like he was right up against the road. there looks five, six feet of space. how do people do that? >> was he able to hit him or did the trooper dodge? >> as the car is coming up, trooper morley sees him and gets close to the car and manages not to get completely hit by the car, but he did suffer minor injuries, which is amazing. he could have gotten completely smashed between both cars. >> after the car comes through, you see a skid mark on the ground and you see where officer
4:05 pm
morley's feet are. that much. >> it looked like the car then pulled off the road in front of this other car. did the driver stop after he hit the officer? >> it does appear that car pulled over, but no details on that driver or that car have been released by the police department. >> you know what's interesting about this, though, in florida this month they're spotlighting the move over law, which states that any driver, when they see an emergency vehicle up ahead, they have to move over one lane. >> they moved over a lane, just in the wrong direction. >> that's true. when you guys see this video, you will be amazed that no one was hurt. these are train tracks in delaware, as you can see, that's the train rammed into that car. monique was going out to pick up her sister when she made a turn on to what she thought was a
4:06 pm
road but they were train tracks. you can see her wheels turning there, she's trying to get off the tracks. the passenger in the car got out immediately, but monique was still in the car trying to get it out. these two passersby come along and try to help her push the car off the tracks. then they said they heard ding ding ding, the gates coming down. they pulled her out of the car seconds before the train hit. >> yeah. >> whoa. >> that was really close. >> she barely survived this. >> first ding ding i her, i would have been like, well, call the insurance company because this car won't make it. >> you think if you're that person, it's my car, i still have payments on it, i made a big down payment. i can see why she made it out at the last possible moment. i would have been so far out of that car. vice president joe biden eventually stopped by davidson county community college in north carolina to make this speech about jobs. >> there's no jobs.
4:07 pm
>> but somebody must have had a big night. look to the top left corner of your screen. that large man there. behind vice president biden -- >> he's asleep. >> the man is snoozing. >> i think i saw his eyes open for a second. >> when vice president biden said something about manufacturing and technology, it wakes the man up a bit. >> we are not manufacturing in technologies, but now we're starting -- >> he does the, oh, i'm up. seriously, i'm good. moments later, drifting back off to la la land. you know when you're asleep in school, you do the shift in your seat? i'm good. i'm good. one eye closed, one eye open. he's like i'm sleeping when the vice president is making a speech in front of me. ironically this speech had the phrase of americans are tired of being tired. in this case, that's the case. you can barely see anybody else.
4:08 pm
could the cameraman maybe just pan over a bit, cut that guy off? >> that's the worst feeling in the world when you're so tired that you just can't keep your eyes open. how sad this guy is everywhere, on national tv and youtube. >> imagine this guy's mother calling? i saw you on tv. >> can't even stay away while the vice president is there. >> when there's a moose on the loose, you know the cameras are going to start rolling. >> yes, we do. here's the proof. the story behind the video is coming . slopes, the other on the street. >> oh, that guy tried to save him. see what happens

4:11 pm
anchorage, alaska at the providence, alaska medical center. this moose is on the small side. a young moose. >> poor moose. >> he wandered into this hospital through the parking garage. they say this thing happens often, but this moose is the first one to make it to the third floor. >> that's what i thought. >> does this mean this moose got on the elevator? >> it's unclear how he got to the third floor. i imagine he walked his way around the parking garage. probably a nice view from up here. i'll check it out. >> some sort of moose guard that this happens all the time? >> the moose guard. >> maybe the moose thought he had a doctor's appointment. >> so far no reports as to what medical conditions the moose had and was getting treatment for. looking for his herd. climbed up to the third floor. >> he lost them. >> looking for an vantage point.
4:12 pm
>> apparently they strategically placed cars throughout the parking garage and got him back to the first level. apparently it took eight hours. >> eight hours? >> eight hours of leading this moose around the parking garage. >> a friendly moose. >> didn't look aggressive. super gentle. >> no humans, no patients were harmed, and the moose was okay, too. nobody got hurt. >> moose. bye moose. how much money would you do this for? >> head first or feet first? >> feet first. >> this woman asked do you want me to come down feet first or head first? from the top of that overpass to the bottom of a blue crash pad. then they asked -- >> i want to see some money, baby, before i do it. >> that's smart. >> this doesn't look like a crash pad. this looks like a basic
4:13 pm
gymnastics pad. >> good observation, because it's not. it's a standard jim mat. she steps over the railing and jumps. she jumps and doesn't get up. why? because that hurt. >> i don't think this is necessarily a death-defying stuntment ment stunt. i think she went about it the wrong way. >> the impact is so hard, she didn't get up. she couldn't get up. she hurt her legs, she's moving around, but she couldn't get up until medics came to help her. >> when the medics finally came to the scene here, imagine what they said. really? this is what you're going to do? this is your saturday? >> i want to know how much money she got for this and if it was worth it. >> i want to see some money, baby. >> money? >> yeah. when you go hiking and you climb the summit of a mountain you expect to see a great view.
4:14 pm
camels maybe. you don't expect to see a dude buzzing the tower in a glider. this is about a 6,000 foot summit of a mountain in new zealand. they climbed up and got a real treat from a guy swooping down and doing low fly-bys. >> that's cool. >> the guy gets darn close. >> whoa. >> that's cool. >> he comes close to the edge of that mountain. for a second i thought he was smacking into it. >> watch this pass. >> oh. >> some gliders can have wing spans of 50 to 100 feet. that's what keeps them aloft. they fly with the updraft, similar to what a bird would fly. >> i love the sound of it or in other words, the lack of sound as it comes swooping by. you hear a little -- >> this is one brave glider pilot. if he miscalculates the span, he
4:15 pm
will whack one of the people. >> you hear one lady saying i think he's going to kill us. i think he's trying to give them a hair cut. gives them a tip of the wing as if to say hope you enjoyed the show. >> he is definitely trying to give that guy a hair cut. next time on "right this minute" -- you've se video like thisw way t to look at 'em. >> is it a whole bunch of cameras in a mall? that's next time on "right this minute." >> means the bulldog and piglet story is coming up. i believe i got that right. maybe. and seat city of rio at carnaval
4:18 pm
we could learn a few things from the animal kingdom. we could learn how to care for things that are not like us. >> look at this little french bulldog on your screen. that's baby. and baby has become the surrogate mother to some more piglets. these little boars were abandoned in a german forest by their mother and taken to an animal sanctuary, now little baby, the french bulldog, has become their mom and is trying to educate them, teach them the ways of the world. >> you do learn something every day, i guess.
4:19 pm
>> this little dog is loving these boars just because they deserve move. so "right this minute" from berlin jeremy, we have norbit who works at the animal sanctuary. [ speaking german ] >> can you repeat? >> i don't think he understands german with a southern accent. >> tell me about how this relationship started. >> the dog saw the piglets and she loved them from the first moment. she loves every animal. she is a hyper mama. >> what will happen to them when they grow up? >> she will take care of them until three months, and then when they grow up, we give them to good friends with a big forest. >> how important is it for the piglets to have baby? >> very, very important.
4:20 pm
we can't give them what baby gives them. she licks the babies and teaches them how to live and it's very, very important. >> has she ever had puppies? >> no. she's castrated. >> so she gets to be a mom even though she can't be a mom. >> yes. "right this minute" wouldn't be complete without some awesome crash videos. and i found two cool ones for us. this one is on a snow slope, right in the middle of your scre screen, a little too fast. pay attention to the little boy who enters on the bottom right hand corner. >> oh. >> that guy tried to save her. whoa. yeah. >> was that a smack or what? >> i can't tell. >> that kid got hammered. >> looks like dad sort of grabs
4:21 pm
him in time. he still got punted. >> no one is safe on the sled ride. >> my rule would be if you're not on a sled what you are doing in the middle of the hill? >> everyone has their winter weather gear on. everyone is nice and puffy and padded. >> speaking of puffy and padded, let's hope that the air bag in this care works because here's another crash video. >> sweet transition. i like that. >> the video on our freeways, very busy boulevard. >> bunch of brake lights. >> oh. >> there you go. >> yeah. >> how did that guy manage to do that? >> came from the opposite direction. >> he went driving the opposite direction, then just sees this car lose control and smack into five cars. >> this guy got lucky. our point of view he got real lucky. >> it appears this driver doesn't have any control whatsoever of our car. it was almost like an awesome stunt driver move.

4:28 pm
fighting for survival. many bugs eat other bugs every day to live. other ones are in the wrong place at the wrong time. >> i'm going to start wagering on the praying mantis. that thing was fierce. >> got one last cool little video. it's a tilt shift video. member those lenses that look everything kind of small and cartoonish? this is shot in rio de janeiro at the carnaval party. it almost likes fake, but it's just a tilt shift lens on a camera to give it that miniature feel. >> i love that. almost like claymation. >> that will do it for our show. thanks for joining us. another half hour of "rtm" is on the way. consumers today have a legitimate concern about the chicken they eat.
4:29 pm
they want to know more about how they were raised, what they were fed. we spend a lot of time on the feed because a chicken is what it eats. [ jim ] this seal verifies we feed my fresh all-natural chickens an all-vegetarian diet including corn, soybeans, and marigolds. we actually ask the usda to come check us. we have never fed steroids or hormones and never will. no blood meal, no meat and bone meal. yuck. no animal by-products. it means when you put my chicken on the table, you know where it came from.
