Yes his kids just lost a father, and a wife lost her husband, but this pisses me off to see #ripaltonsterling. Everyone just assumes this was a racist attack and don't even research the event. This guy is a convicted felon, spent 5 years in prison, owner of an illegal firearm, sex offender, in possession of drugs, is a blood gang member. The police got a call saying he was carrying a gun, so when they have him restrained and he reaches for his pocket... Would you also be willing to just assume this report is false? I'm not saying it's right, but police officers have to make split second decisions that many of you can't do
