Someone else asking the same question:

Again, an off-duty officer was supposedly sleeping in the back seat of the car the entire time — she claims she didn’t witness the shooting.
Yes, it sounds a little odd to us, too.
If we were stopped by a cop and had a sleeping cop in the car with us, the first thing we’re gonna do is wake her up to speak with the officer who’s pulling us over — hope that perhaps a little professional courtesy might lead to a warning rather than a ticket, or worse.
That, apparently, didn’t happen.
We sent the NYPD an email asking for an explanation of how the sleeping officer managed to miss the entire shooting. We’re yet to hear back.
Whoa..!That's the first I've heard anything directly from her! She has come out and personally made that claim? Wow! Breaking news!
What a scoop for... the Village Voice?
