John 2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
You can be angry and not sin, a great example is Jesus flipping the tables and whipping the people scamming the worshipers in the temple. Although He was angry, he did not sin.
We can be angry with what is going on around us also, but it is our choice to sin or not. We can get mad at that person weaving in and out of traffic but yelling at them will not change their driving. Although if we pray they change their ways before they get hurt or hurt someone else, we just took the high Christian Road and in this case it was probably more effective.
Although sometimes we cannot turn a blind eye to a crime. We may need to report it to the police. Sometimes we see others doing wrong and we need to let them know, so they understand what they are doing is not acceptable. These can be very delicate situations, when people are convicted of their sin they tend to get angry.
Remember the example we are setting to others, If I yell at a jaywalker, then run into them at Church, what type of an example am I setting? Remember who we are working for, when correcting another I don’t want to go back to the Lord later and have to ask for forgiveness for my actions.
