UPPER POTTSGROVE, Pa. (WPVI) -- A weekend police-involved shooting is under investigation, and the parents of the young man killed spoke only with Action News.
It was late Saturday night when 22-year-old Glenn Pysher was out celebrating a friend's birthday at a local bar. Glenn's parents tell Action News it was getting late, so the celebration moved to the friend's house.
Erin Pysher says her son decided to walk.
"He ended up at the wrong house after having a few drinks. He didn't know that, so he was knocking on the door saying, 'Hey, let me in.' Thinking it was his friend's house, but it wasn't," his mother said.
It all unfolded at a home in Upper Pottsgrove a bit past midnight. The couple inside was startled and called 911. "12:32, he was on the phone with his friends. By 12:35, I believe he's already shot. So, within a few minutes, the cop pulled up and shot him. He was unarmed. He had a cell phone and a book bag," recalled Pysher.
Surveillance cameras set up in the backyard of the property recorded the deadly encounter, and that recording is reportedly being used as part of the investigation. Action News was not given access to those recordings.
In the meantime, the Pyshers say their son was a wonderful young man who loved baseball almost as much as he loved his family. In fact, he was getting ready to play ball at Saint Elizabeth University in New Jersey, to where he had recently transferred.
No one is safe from murderous cops in this country. DO NOT CALL THE COPS unless you're willing to see people killed.
SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR! RESIST!
Does the profile of cop expectations attract bullies?

Seems like some were bullies before they became cops. Policing enabled them to be paid to do what they like and do well. I never met a cop who was anything but an ^sshole to me. Two in my praise band many years ago told stories of people they beat up for the fun of it.
MAGA damaged America as much as the felon who led them. When he's gone, we still have them to deal with.

Some bullies, some physical but not smart, some ex-military who were pushed out or just didn't re-enlist. Probably not as bad as the ones ICE attracts, though..
