Justice in our country still gets laughed at and embarrassed. Never comes to reason when any loyal and honest public servant dies violently while serving and the offender gets a couple years in the clink, gets acquitted for self-defense or is never found and brought to a courthouse to face their punishment. Dade County where you lived and secured life and property, Officer Cook, was where your beloved parents wanted to call home. You had friends and a plethora to occupy your time. I had a tough time finding friends and the school that we both attended, Sabal Palm Elementary had bullying in my day. The bullying annoyed the pardon the word, hell out of me. North Miami Beach is very much a different place now although to purchase a home prices have skyrocketed. You were a loyal and gifted man of valor and decision, a devoted colleague who tragically got caught up in a young man's web of wickedness that cast a pall over Dade County. Yet, through each watch harmony and safety was placed by each person by a young man of character and constraint. You'll never be forgotten.
