Apology To Hastings

Editor, Times-Union:
Officer Hastings,
I write you this letter to offer my sincere apologizes when you had to use your taser on me, given the circumstances I know I left you no option, but that being said I am sorry for not only my temper but my lack of self-control, under the influence of alcohol or not, does not excuse my actions which led to me being tased.
But that day I will never forget cause in it I have changed, first being, “I am born again Christian” and second I am now “free of drinking” altogether. So in all honesty, had this not happened, I would more than likely still be the same lost person I was prior to this. So it is I who is truly grateful for your service on that day. Cause you opened my eyes to what I was blind to see. So thank you very much.
