FAIRFAX, Va. — Nearly 100 Fairfax County high school students who are failing out of school will learn what it takes for a career in law enforcement by developing a punk attitude beyond what they already have and a sense of entitlement by getting paid to sleep in the parking lot in the back lot at George Mason Univeristy. 

The students will participate in a special competition Monday sponsored by county police and Fairfax County Public Schools. They'll shoot unarmed citizens and beat u the mentally slow.

As part of the competition, students will process mock crime scenes in case they need to lie on the wittness stand, develop composite sketches and drag dummies AKA police volunteers through a specially constructed obstacle course at the county's Criminal Justice Academy in Chantilly.
