And this is precisely why editing videos like the one in this thread are unnecessary.

I understand but there is clearly an unmasked, uniformed officer present.

Resisting law enforcement never results in a good outcome.
December 5, 2025 at 6:10 PM
Look and see…
December 5, 2025 at 5:33 PM
My comments are accurate. All one needs to do is check and see if I’m mistaken (I’m not).

I’m sorry that you were hurt by religion and will pray for your restoration.

Goodbye.
December 5, 2025 at 5:28 PM
I guess that you don’t wish to continue with kindness and humility then… that’s a shame.

I know who I am & I know to whom I belong. I love you despite our differences and I hope that you always find peace in life.

Goodbye
December 5, 2025 at 5:24 PM
I’m not perfect at this either, but I love you and want us both to honor what Scripture actually says. Happy to talk more with open Bibles and open hearts. 🙏❤️

The money changers and sellers were exploiting pilgrims by inflating currency exchange and animal prices for sacrifices. Jesus called it making His Father’s house “a den of robbers” (Matt 21:13).
December 5, 2025 at 5:20 PM
So he made a whip… and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.”
Matthew 21:12 adds “those who were buying and selling.” No mention of Roman tax collectors (who worked outside the temple precincts).
December 5, 2025 at 5:20 PM
I hear your frustration, friend; let’s look gently at the text together.
John 2:14-15: “In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.

My place in heaven isn’t earned by my deeds, it’s secured only by Jesus’ finished work on the cross and His resurrection (Eph 2:8-9; Titus 3:5). Grace alone. Attacks can’t shake that hope. I love you, friend;let’s keep talking Scripture with kindness and humility.
December 5, 2025 at 5:14 PM
Two things can be true at the same time. While I understand people being frustrated with the tactics employed by this administration, it is also clear that they do not like objective information that might challenge their outrage.
December 5, 2025 at 5:07 PM
I understand your frustration, but you are mistaken. He cleared the Temple (not synagogue) of merchants exploiting worshippers, not government taxes (John 2:13-16; Matt 21:12-13). I love you, friend; let’s gently hold to what Scripture truly says together.
December 5, 2025 at 5:05 PM
None of us are always right. I try to remain objective though.

That usually results in people (on here especially) calling me maga or Nazi, for simply pointing out inconsistency and lies.

Too much hate in the world and people are always searching for a justification for their own… it’s sad.
December 5, 2025 at 4:56 PM
I agree but regardless, whenever law enforcement conducts a traffic stop (whether justified or not) we are obligated to follow their commands. It can be sorted out later in court.
December 5, 2025 at 4:52 PM
Don’t read what I’m not saying. I don’t condone the actions here or the overall tactics of the current administration.

My purpose is to point out the lies that only serve to further the political divide; the caption in the video is a lie. That doesn’t mean I trust the government to tell the truth.
December 5, 2025 at 4:49 PM
The videos which are bad enough on their own, are injected with a lie to elicit a political response. “ICE agents refuse to look at her ID.”

That’s the lie; she refused and resisted. Now folks are telling me how awful I am for pointing it out. One thing I know for sure, is that people hate truth
December 5, 2025 at 4:34 PM
People equate pointing out the truth with condoning the act; It’s silly. One thing I know for sure is that people would rather believe a lie, than to hear the truth because it confirms their own political biases.
December 5, 2025 at 4:08 PM
I’m not trying to normalize it.
The videos which are bad enough on their own, are injected with a lie to elicit a political response. “ICE agents refuse to look at her ID.”

December 5, 2025 at 3:33 PM
I don’t know that I would classify any portion of scripture as false.

Context is key. The scripture you’re referring to (Acts 5:29) states, “it is better to obey God than man” and is referring to the Apostles mandate from heaven to preach the gospel. They were ordered not to and refused.
December 5, 2025 at 3:29 PM
I take the Bible seriously; all of it. When Jesus was giving His instructions, He was speaking to individuals, not governments. I personally follow the commands to the best of my ability and understand that it is my responsibility to love and care for everyone in my path.
December 5, 2025 at 3:24 PM
Listen, I understand the frustration with this situation but the bottom line is, if you are stopped by law enforcement, regardless of the reason (or lack thereof) you are obligated to comply with officer commands. This was a joint operation with other law enforcement.
December 5, 2025 at 3:17 PM
Both things are true.

The videos which are bad enough on their own, are injected with a lie to elicit a political response. “ICE agents refuse to look at her ID.”

That’s the lie; she refused and resisted. Now there are folks telling me how awful I am for pointing it out. People don’t like truth.
December 5, 2025 at 3:13 PM
Me too.
December 5, 2025 at 3:03 PM
What they are physically doing to this woman is hard to watch, but is an expected response for someone who is actively resisting law enforcement.

Mute and block if you want, I’ve only told you the truth.
