As Jameel McGee was buying milk and groceries for his brand new baby boy, an Officer steps into change and tie their lives forever.
A true story of racial reconciliation and radical forgiveness. A crooked cop, an innocent man, and an unlikely journey of forgiveness and friendship. Racial tensions had long simmered in Benton Harbor, a small city on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, before the day a white narcotics officer, more focused on arrests than justice, set his sights on an innocent black man. But when Officer Andrew Collins framed Jameel McGee for possession of crack cocaine, the surprising result was not a race riot, but a transformative journey for both men. (Excerpt from their book "Convicted")

What I found most amazing about this is that Jameel not only forgave him but that they went on to become friends who love each as brothers in the Lord. Only God can bring that kind of love and healing to a relationship.
Right up there with the Lord parting the Red Sea. I mean TRULY.
I realize I'm not a good man at all. I want to spend most of the time in prison trying to figure out how to kill him. God bless him
This is why the gospel never grows old
Why isn't this video getting more air play right now? We need to hear this! What a blessing
We prob both agree this is wrong. And he's a bad cop. But not all cops do this. Take care.
@@justinbr4288 this is what all cops do. They will not loose ! Right or wrong they will do what it takes to put away someone if they believe that person should. The worst thing about this is the wrongful person got 10 years and the losing cheating drug dealing cop got 36 months. He should’ve got 36 yrs.
@@dukenukem8493 i hear u. Not here to argue. Think we both agree this story is messed up. Where we disagree is all cops r like that. I have friends that r cops. If they did stuff like that, we wouldn't be friends...
@@dukenukem8493 Greatest injustice in history was Jesus being crucified on the cross after living a sinless life. Everything that happens here is less than we deserve. That is an injustice, but it isn't going to fix anything to lose your soul over it.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 dude shut tf up. Don’t try and make this about god just to down play this pigs actions.
This is everything the USA needs right now, we all fail at times we all fall short, true forgiveness is a life changer. May GOD richly bless these men as they share their story.
JAMEEL... you are the most gracious person I’ve ever seen.
I’m a believer & thought I understood Gods Grace... but you, your family, friends..amazing!!!!
I can not believe that you were able to sit across from this cat & listen to him be YOUR mentor??!!!
Your mentor?!!
What!
You are Amazing Jameel..
Amazing!!!
God is amazing
I saw them on the 700 Club giving their testimony. The story of forgiveness never gets old.
This is needed! We are in a unique time period in the US racially right now!
God is so good. Not one of us deserve His love or mercy, but He gives it to us anyway. How great He is!
Extremely Impactful and overwhelming how to learn the ability to surrender like this. It can only be done through God’s power through the Holy Spirit. 🙏✝️
How powerful is that, only the miracle of the love of Jesus can make this happen praise the lord
I’m not crying...you’re crying!!! God bless them both.
What a heart wrenching story! Jameel ! What a beautiful soul. I feel so much warmth emanating from you. God bless your dear heart. As for the cop, I do pray his faith is authentic because he seemed a little too casual and detached from the pain he caused. But then who are we to judge these things? God sees the heart and is the ultimate judge of all.
Sometimes people adapt to that tone when talking about heavy stuff. They’re just trying to get the words out. If Jamele forgave and believes him then I do too, but you’re right, only God knows our hearts.
The hardest thing to do is love and forgive those who hurt us.. but it’s what God repeatedly tells us we must learn. It’s amazing how I can see a God in his life.. he showed Andrew mercy and grace. Gods love man.!
Very well said!
I needed this 🙏🏿 Thank You, Lord for this video! God please continue to bless these men and bless all of those who read this comment. Thank You for Your Love, Forgiveness, and Grace 🌟❤️🙌🏿
This isn’t your fight. That hit me hard.... when God spoke to Jamel. I needed to hear this message before I got out of bed this morning. Praise God ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭I cant stop crying
I found these dudes a month ago. I’m not religious, but this is one of the most beautiful interactions between two individuals that I have ever seen.
I just shared this with a best friend that got out of prison 5-20-2021 that was falsely accused and did 10 yrs. God does send you guidance when you need it.
Credit to Jameel for his grace. I think the ex-cop still has a little bit to learn.
when did you become God? Let's look at the man in the mirror
Sadly what happened to this poor man is becoming a norm in our country. Sin is taking over the officers who are responsible for upholding the law. Shame on him.
Brandon Kruse are you still going to put a shame on a man who had already asked for forgiveness, who the victim had already forgiven himself and has long reconciled with the person he did wrong to? The victim himself knows forgiveness better than those people watching and not gone through it. The point of third story is forgiveness and not shaming people for their past mistakes.
Satans biggest tactic is shame energy. Be really careful when you shame people it’s not good to do that.
Wow what are the odds, amazing story.
"What a tangled web we weave once we practice to deceive"
Sin is a spiralling situation. If you stay in it you will surely perish.
This is such a GOD thing. We all need this.
I lost my career in a court matter and have had to let God be my vindicator and Redeemer with forgiveness for all involved.
Thank you for posting this!!!! Glory to God!
Powerful Testimony of how great God’s Love for His Children is! We serve a Loving God! 🙏
Someone has to do a movie out of this incredible story. Please 🙏🏻
What an amazingly heart-wrenching story with God all up in the midst of it! Best wishes to both men and their journey together.
Wonderful story of forgiveness through both people. If you are hurting and unable to forgive, this story proves yes you can. The greatest story of forgiveness is Jesus dying on the cross for you and I.
Ever thought on doing a series on trying to forgive yourself?
I’ve heard this story before! All glory to God! PTL!
I love this!

Awesome story !!! God is so good.
Wow! This testimony of forgiveness is so amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️ Just wow. Thank you for sharing!
Just amazing!!
"Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?"
"No, not seven times," Jesus replied, "but seventy times seven!"
Jesus tells us to never stop forgiving those who have wronged us. Jameel's example of this is such amazing story, and Andrew's example of receiving forgiveness is equally important to the equation. Thanks for this awesome story!
I have 7x70 tattoo just for this reason
So powerful! This is true forgiveness on a massive biblical scale
This is an amazing testament. Thank you for sharing. All glory to god 🙌🏻

What a amazing story Jameel and Andrew @Jameel I salute you king. You are truly chosen!!!
I absolutely love this ❤️
Two great guys just making the world.
Captivating story. I can't believe the truth that people tell and what they do to others. Praying for this to be solid. I'm not sure I'd be able to trust like that.
Well I am in tears oh my God this was such a testimony of God's grace and mercy
Wow. What an amazing story and I liked the conversation between the two guys. Forgiveness is so important.
Gods blessings on you both
What an amazing God we serve! Many thanks for this and God bless

Forgiveness is transformative 🙏🏿
much needed
I have gone through and still have a similar situation in my life i don't believe the officer in my case would man up like that one did but its a powerful story awesome
Oh my goodness I'm crying buckets of tears. Praise God for His transforming power.
People need to be watching this TODAY! Through Christ there is UNITY and FORGIVENESS!
Powerful
Whoa.
Good shit right here.

This was a Miracle! Praise God!!
Glory to God!!!!!
Wow J & J that was awesome!
God has blessed you both...
What a special young man.
AWESOME
There are people today that won’t forgive me for something that happened over a hundred years ago and that I had no part of it.
🙏🏾
That is a miracle.
This was so powerful to see!! Forgivness overrides all! Man this was amazing! Thank you Jesus! 🙌🙋💕
Neeka ....
ONLY through Jesus could forgiveness happen here.
JAMMEL is so beautiful. I've tears in my eyes.

Wow! That’s a cool story
What a beautiful channel and story. 🥰
ThQ Lori!!
Whew...... 😣 That was deep. The Lord is merciful to all his children....... every walk is different.
powerful
Thanks for sharing and for those who commented that the ex cop needs to check himself remember he took a step to correct his wrong deeds and they were brought toward each other divinely and they both allowed God to work that now they are best friends and truly love each other so to God b d glory
Jameel didn't carry the shame in his heart in the way that Andrew did. This allowed him to forgive Andrew more easily than Andrew could forgive himself.
GOD IS GREAT!!! Two great blessed men !! Amen !!!
