“Believe me, I’m Blue Lives Matter,” Damon said. “What are you doing now? We’re all for the police. Guys, we’re all for the police.”

“Hey brother, I’m a good guy and I know people try to target me because I’m a Trump supporter,” Damon added.

The body scan lasted almost two hours. It showed that both Damon and his wife, Michelle Mangan-Damon, were disobedient to the police, leading to an altercation.

It also included Damon himself hitting the officer’s body chamber on the ground.

“Do not touch me,” Mangan-Damon replied to one of the officers. “Do not touch the king on me.” After saying that, she broke free and walked away.
