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.
