New York City - PIX News caught a New York City cop snoozing inside a high security fishbowl near Grand Central.
The photos were taken Mar 4 around 9:44 a.m.and show the officer sound asleep inside the platform surveillance booth on the 7 train in Grand Central. The officer was apparently nodding off for about 30 seconds, tried to wake up and then fell fast asleep.
NYPD Commissioner Paul J. Browne, released a statement to PIX News reading, “The NYPD is investigating whether an officer, who experienced a death in the family overnight, fell asleep on duty the following morning.”
It was in the subways near Grand Central, where admitted al-Qaeda associate Najibulla Zazi planned on carrying out suicide bombings, which were foiled back in September.

in the olden days cops was to protect the people .
so we cut them some slack .
but now days the cops try very hard to be the enemy . so if you are so strict with the people . remember no human is perfect and EVERY cop should remember one day you will make a mistake and than you will be judged the same way.
yes you have to protect the law but the law is for the people not for the rulers.
unfortunately america is loosing the direction

That is why people should take family leave or sick leave. If that security post needs to be manned for our safety, a person who is physically or mentally impaired that day should take himself Off Duty. B2

I'm sure this photographer, who is so clearly concerned about public safety, after seeing the cop nodding off, immediately tapped on the glass to wake the officer so he could resume his surveillance. Better yet, he probably offered to get the guy a cup of coffee. Oh wait... he didn't? Then he's just a sanctimonious jerk.

Channel 11 are a bunch of anti american, anti white and anti everything this country stands for. Oh, Channel 11 is also anti NYPD.
If this idiot reporter was so concerned about our safety how is it that he decided to make a phone call to try to get a video crew from upstairs, took out his cell phone to take pictures and still have the nerve not to wake the officer up?
many people in the media are just a bunch of sickos. This guy can lose his job, pension, be embarrased for the rest of his life because of one reporter.
Only in new york can this happen.

Yes that is what should happen, his job and his pension are a privilige not a right! The NYPD are a bunch of arrogant egomaniacs with an entitlement attitude and when they will show concern and respect for the average Joe we will cut them slack. In the meantime hound them with cameras

A night of burglaries has proven to be exhausting for a Callista man who fell asleep in front of a Victoria Park pharmacy yesterday morning.
Sergeant Greg Lambert said the 35-year-old man tried to pry open the front door of a pharmacy on Albany Highway with a piece of wire.
Police found the man asleep at the front door before he could complete the heist.
Initial inquiries revealed the man had had a busy night, breaking into another Victoria Park pharmacy only hours before.
He was charged with burglary and attempted burglary and was due to appear in court this morning.
