At Rest

Deadly force
Friends described Haasz as basically peaceful although plagued by mental and substance abuse problems. Four local officers approached him in an Allentown parking lot, mid-morning, as he had a knife stuck in his own sternum. Pepper-spraying him only enraged him, and the four officers shot him eleven times, fatally.
This record exists so that Albert Haasz, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
