Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

A complete man, a common man and an unusual man, one unfazed by violence and fearless in your pursuits of peace, Officer Cook. Crime and those acting callously must abate at once as Dade County is too important a venue to suffer these awful intolerances. Serenity, security and safety must have the character of honor, integrity and dignity dispensing truth and trust among the citizens. Humility, humanity and civility executed to the letter by a mature gentleman, now a hero in eternity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Never serve up any aggression to an already agitated monster. Kind of like walking into an animals's cage thinking nothing will occur. Terrible that Mr. Pearsall did not have any honor,integrity or dignity like you and your comrades had that day and all the time, Officer Cook.

Grace and a smile can work wonders. What functions superbly during violent times are a man or woman's heroic honor, integrity and the reverence afforded dignity.
