RALEIGH, NCCalling it his lifelong dream, local man Brendan Lockhart, an insecure and perpetually frustrated bully who believes he has something to prove to the world, told reporters Thursday that he is seriously considering a career in law enforcement.
Lockhart, a recent high-school graduate who sources confirmed is plagued by resentment, self-doubt, unexpected fits of rage, and has always had a penchant for tormenting those who are smaller and weaker than him, explained that he feels he is well suited to serve as a police officer.

I know its a tough line of work, but I think Ive got what it takes to earn my shield and get out there and keep the peace.

(650 posts)1. Most of the cops I am familiar with were the type of guys who nobody from high school remembers
I also know some really cool ones, but they are generally Community Outreach types.
