Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
To affect continuity there must never be an absence nor a lack of honesty and integrity. It makes all the difference in how dignity will navigate down those long winding roads where decency must too go. Here in Dade County your appealing ways of peace and longevity, Officer Cook, were how your mastered your profession where values, ideals and wisdom weigh heavily on those scales of justice. And seeing how loyal, fair and trustworthy you were, Officer Cook, evil and violence had to look and think twice. Too bad Mr. Pearsall did not use the same brain God gave him. No matter if you are depressed, troubled or whatever taking an innocent man's life , a servant of his community and nearly that of his colleagues is simply no excuse for mayhem and wickedness all premeditated. Today, your family, community and the world solemnly and heroically salutes your fortitude and loving guidance that reached its peaks in our serenity and security. One small step for mankind. One humble and beloved soul of distinction. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero of dignity and wholesome character and stellar commitments to pride and excellence.
