"perp" means someone who commits a crime...sleeping in a car is not a shooting crime.... But who am I?? Sure, go ahead--if you can't see someone's hands, you as a cop have the right to kill them....
As long as a cop is working in a high crime area, s/he should have the right to shoot anyone...what if they have no hands and the cops think they are just hiding them? Shoot anyway....We should go along with what ever ANY cop does because they never make mistakes... </sarcasm>

perhaps I should have used the word "suspect" since the cop felt there was probable cause to question the person he viewed as a "suspect".
I wasn't there, all I read was the same article the rest of you read. Expecting key information to be left out of a mainstream media story, I came up with the one question I would have wanted answered if I was investigating...
I did not assume the cop murdered the guy and then left a plant on his seat, I did not assume the dead guy was a serial rapist who deserved to be shot.... I merely asked the question I thought a normal thinking person would want answered in the article.....
