Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Violence leaves us clutching our chests and holding our breath. What mean and undeniable evil. Unsightly in that it distorts society's reality of what it means to live freely and in serenity. Your good graces, Officer Cook, saved Dade County and its residents much anxiety though sad that you lost your life in that unthinkable gun fight. Never more treasured and heroically honored for such dignified and humane honor, humility and the common senses of character and desirable convictions. Society can certainly live because of your bravery more at peace and prosper more wisely in their resolve and further undertakings. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
