Haas did throw in a mental health/sympathy card about his brother who died.... Not sure even grieving gives you a free pass to abuse the cops though - it’s not their fault his brother died.
I hate stuff like that - real sign of disrespect to the person who’s died - I’m sure his brother wouldn’t have wanted him going out, getting drunk and carrying on like a pork chop. If anything, the death of a loved one should drive you to be better. I get that it happens, and may well have been a contributing factor, but don’t throw it out there as some sort of excuse, just own your own behaviour! I acted like a goose after my old man died, starting going out on the beer, treating women like pieces of meat, was having a great old time, but acting like a jerk - but that was me being selfish, I couldn’t blame my Dads death for that, that just gave me the excuse to act like a prick. I was the prick, and I’d never have tried to use my Dad dying as an excuse to try and get people to be a little more sympathetic. I was acting a prick, people deserved to think I was a prick, my dad would have thought I was a prick. Just own it.
