Seeing police gives their lives you would think it might just slow this evil progression of violence pressed upon mankind's throats. New York City had some officers shot and nearly ambushed to death while in their patrol cars and while they were inside their staionhouses yesterday. It all just makes one's blood boil over. It surely did, Officer Cook, that day of May 16, 1979, when Dade County, your family and department lost a bright, young and handsome soul of a gentleman in your dignified self. A public servant humbled to serve and to tackle with all the character, commitment to excelling and the integrity that steered everything trustworthy and truthful you believed in.
