Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
Take umbrage this all actions of public servants may one day lead to the eradication of evil, unsightly and insane. Our world surely reveres those brave and honorable men and women who instill integrity and dignity in their heroism. Dade County and its community received the most humblest and most blessed service from you, Officer Cook, a warrior whose character and commitment made society feel a little safer. Too bad violence suddenly ended your life, career and journeys where mankind has not been. Never more resolve and resourcefulness that has humanity saluting your humility. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

To trust in God and have faith from above is the humblest of blessings we can have bestowed upon us. To be loyal and dignified, have integrity and honest character is the way to navigate around life's problems. God does not expect perfection. Just try and negotiate and maybe a resolution will occur. You tried to quell an already ugly scene, Officer Cook, a domestic squabble between a man and his girlfriend what transpired to you and your comrades left all Dade County agast. No time for explanations. No goodbyes. The eyes of the Lord humane and merciful were looking down as your wonderful heart and soul were being taken back to a serene environment, heaven where heroines and heroines, brave and humble awaited your soul of loyalty with open arms as did your father, Charles, may he too rest in peace. Securing our futures was your job and you carried out your resolve with lighting fast dispatch. Always remembered and truly missed by all mankind and your beloved family.

Most men and women of public service are desirable and honest. It's the few who are rogue and stray from the courses of dignity and integrity that must be weeded out and taken off the roads immediately. There are no choices.

Dade County and its residents were very well served and watched over when you provided them with safety and peaceful pursuits of joy, Officer Cook. Our assurances were taken care to the fullest extent when your soul of humility sheltered those who waited. all your missions, journeys and fruitful destinies, Officer Cook, were directed in large part by Our Maker. He has you and all your comrades for safekeeping where no more evil or harm will come your way. You wore distinction and devotion on your badge and sleeves for humanity to witness.
