Talk about a wild night.

The body camera footage of exactly what went down when Johnny Damon was pulled over and eventually arrested by Windermere police was released Tuesday.

The former Yankees and Red Sox star was pulled over and arrested outside of his Orlando-area gated community on Feb. 19. He was charged with a DUI after registering between a .294 and .30 blood alcohol level, the Orlando Sentinel reported citing the police report. That is nearly four times the legal limit in Florida.

The video shows cops pulling over Damon and his wife who were both uncooperative with authorities from the start, with the two-time World Series champ appearing confused as to why he had been stopped

Wife felt having a Blue Lives Matter license plate absolved them lol
As Mangan-Damon was being handcuffed, Damon could be heard saying, "we are all about cops," and Mangan-Damon said, "look at our license plate. 'Blue Lives Matter.'"

It's remarkable how they deployed their 'loyalty' to an ideal as if it were a get out of jail free card. Perhaps they'll learn their other loyalties are fucking garbage as well.

I'm surprised we didn't get an "I'm an American citizen" like when Reese Witherspoon didn't stay in the car like she was told to. 😆

No Johnny you are an asshole for driving piss drunk. I am shocked he could even operate a vehicle at that BAC.

I was hit by a drunk driver while standing outside of my car. His mirror broke off the car and he just kept driving home. He had no clue that he did it. When the cops called me later to say they found the car they informed me he blew a .33. This was at 4pm in the afternoon mind you

They're all about cops as long as they're enforcing laws against the "right" people. The instant that perception changes, they're beating them to death with American flags.

I was imagining how scary that must have been late at night or early morning, but you got me with 4PM. Some people just shouldn't drive.

Any other individual would be looking at a hefty jail sentence and revoked license....but that's probably not go to happen here, right?

They only love cops when they are locking up Black people. As everyone saw on Jan 6 Blue Lives actually don't matter to them.

It was a very bizarre thing because I recall things just flashing and then my head turning and seeing the mirror on the side of the road and wondering "why does my ass feel like it was smacked". Was probably a few inches from being in a far worse situation.

Reminds me of when the Daily Caller realized that cops lie - a local police officer assaulted one of their reporters during protests last summer, but reported it the other way despite video evidence - and then whined on Twitter "but we're on your side!"

These people fully expect the benefits package for their boot-licking.

Does that make you a shitty person though? It's his body. The person I quoted was making an equivalency with Curt Schilling (who is a rightwing nut job) and Ortiz (because he did steroids in the longball era).

It kind of does though. In sports, you take HGH specifically to cheat, heal faster than you ever should, and gain an unfair advantage. It's why it's banned.

Shitty person - yes.

false equivalency, I don't want to compare directly. I misunderstood that the problem was taking steroids makes you shitty.

A friend of mine uses his Blue Lives Matter bumper sticker to get out of tickets. It's kind of embarrassing how cops wield their discretion.

If you feel taking steroids alone makes you a shitty person, I hope you never watch pro sports. Because I have bad news for you...

The 04 Sox called themselves The Idiots and with a roster that has Damon and Kurt Schilling I couldn't imagine a more apt nickname.

Jason Varitek and Dave Roberts are still cool though.
