We move through life sometimes not knowing what we are doing. Police officers cannot meander through those mazes of mayhem blindsided by the very enemy they take an affirmation to protect people against, evil. Just plain rotten, low down cowardness exhibited by a few callous and heinous individuals. Your task in Dade County, Officer Cook, accepted willingly and freely without force was to keep us safe and serene. You did your job with humility, honor and the humbleness of having dignity and integrity on your uniform and badge of bravery and boldness. And no matter your heroism shall be fondly and nobly remembered forevermore. A character of a man whose heart and gallantry were always pinpoint and in the right places. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

What is taught stays taught. What we learn if properly absorbed stays in our brains. How we are instructed that all depends upon our mood swings. Our mindsets are such, some need more reviewing, while others can retain information given to them. Evil and violence make our very brave and honorable stay , pause and take special notice. No matter who you are you must have a mission and to be able to focus without any hindrance, not always an easy thing to accomplish. You set your mind to succeed, Officer Cook, the ability, the dignity and vision along with integrity and ingenuity made you a humbly self-confident servant who gave peace and unity a chance to branch out in a community that always has respected and saluted your fortitude. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Police don't push pencils. They try mightily to take crime and its ugliness away from our midst.
