A crazed cop in camouflage terrorized a pair of teens in Indiana for mud bogging through an open field in a jeep Saturday, chasing them in a red truck before blocking their path, which was when the driver hopped out, wielding a gun before displaying a badge.

Merrillville police officer Gerry Croarkin proved to be a bullying asshole, to put it bluntly, because there are hardly any words that better describe him. At least none that nice.

The video speaks for itself. Just imagine how he acts when he doesn’t know he’s being recorded.

Prior to the video, Wyatt Coto, 17, was driving the jeep with his teenage friend in the passenger’s seat. They had heard of the field in their automotive vocational class because it was about 25 acres with no posted signs about it being private or ordering people not to trespass. And there are no fences either, a perfect field for mudding.

Or so they thought before they came across three men in camouflage who began chasing them in a red truck. The case last for a few minutes, less than 300 yards, when Croarkin pulled the truck in front of Coto’s jeep, forcing him to stop.

Croarkin yelled at Coto to hand over his keys, which he refused to do. That was when Croarkin yelled at one of his friends in the truck to hand him his gun, which he displayed towards the teens.

And that was when Coto began recording.

Croarkin, who was on the land hunting, accused Coto of being on the field without the owner’s permission, which was true considering he had never spoken to the owner, according to his mother.

But it was hardly the crime of the century.
