Talking about surprises, these high school students went absolutely wild when out of nowhere after a cop appeared in the middle of a football game.

Appleton Police Officer Jack Taschner has been working at Appleton East High School as a resource officer for two years.

During his stay in the school, he gets to know different kinds of students every day and takes full responsibility for their safety at the same time.

He became comfortable with the students and decided to have a little fun with them- it’s just that the unsuspecting students didn’t see it coming.

Since Officer Taschner has worked at the high school, he has already attended countless basketball and football games of theirs.

That means that he’s already witnessed bunches of cheer dance routines, as well as performances from the spectators.

His personal favorite would be what the school calls “driving the bus”.

“I’ve watched them do it for a number of years, I decided I want to get in and join them,” Taschner told InsideEdition.com.

During a football game, Officer Taschner pretended to be attending to some “unruly fans.”

He is also hiding an explosive plan right up his sleeve.

Officer Taschner told ABC2,

“It just kind of popped in my head: I’d like to join in on them doing their cheer, and whatever they do, the bus driver thing, so I came in Friday morning, I talked to the principals, I said, ‘Hey, here’s what I thought, I had an idea,’ and they said, ‘Yeah, run with it.’”

His accomplice to his plan, aside from the principals, was a student named Braden Hutter who normally leads the cheer.

Hutter plays the role of that “unruly fan” whom Taschner would confront.

“I did my best acting to make sure it was going to work out, and everyone thought I was going to get handcuffed or something and it was just fun to have him ask for my ID and he told me to take a seat like I was in trouble — but then he took over,” Hutter said.

It was all caught on camera and then shared by the Appleton Police Department. To no one’s surprise, the video went viral.

The video was captioned, “NO FUN ZONE?” And just when you thought that he’s a party-pooper type of cop during a typically hyped football game, your perception changes in an instant.

“I got into it as much as they did,” Taschner told NBC 26. “When I realized they were all doing it with me, I wanted to let it go on forever, but I knew my legs weren’t going to let me.”

The students’ awesome reactions surely pulled Taschner’s heartstrings.

He hopes that the beautiful thing becomes a tradition and lives on even after he’s no longer working at the school as a resource officer.

“I envision it, as an East tradition. Something that, when I’m done being the SRO [school’s resource officer] here, and someone steps in, they have to step in and do it, too. It’s just a great way for the students and the officers to have that connection,” he said.

The video was uploaded three years ago and has already gained a whopping 3.4 million views since then. It has also been shared 35k times, with 2.2k comments and 42k likes.
