A chain of command ensures the public of some logical effort to combat a problem. Certainly, evil, terror, violence and turmoil confound, confront and try their hardest to confuse mankind and in particular, police officers. That steadiness and trustworthiness must come forward and be attentive to the needs of the community of which you were, Officer Cook. Heroism, honor and respect were not hearsay. They all functioned under Our Maker's watch and those of your supervisors, my neighbor, friend and hero. A real dark day when your life of integrity, wisdom and mature dignity was uprooted by one man's callous revenges against the establishment of those servants pious and brave. Rest in peace.
