Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
Durability and versatility offer accountability, capability and reliability all the more chances to succeed mightily. All the virtue, vigilance and valor, Officer Cook, so heroically honorable and most functionally diligent. For steering, guiding and navigating Dade County through some awfully evil times may God place His gentle hands upon your humane soul of wisdom and vision. You were a complete public servant who saw trouble and raced right into its clutches saving the citizens whom you took an oath to protect. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Character spells commitment and conviction spells courage as only a proud man would do.

Too clean of a uniform and surely questions may be asked. Sometimes it is essential to charge right in to redirect confrontational wickedness and redirect hope, goodwill and faith to a neighborhood as you purposefully and masterfully did, Officer Cook. One hero, too young yet way more versatile and mature than others. Dade County was under siege that fateful day and your actions of quickness saved more lives than we could comprehend today. Integrity led dignity and honesty down those decent trails where trust and truth are to be found. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. The too young part was that you were a six year veteran of your department entrusted to train and to take a squad to fight evil.

Desertion to and from duty is as bad as a rioter, looter or traitor. So seditious and so ignominious. You were a most blessed and revered young man, Officer Cook,cherished and esteemed, greatly admired and respected for your insightful integrity, devoted dignity and humble honesty all leading the way for liberty and safety here in Dade County. Your home and eternal final resting place my neighbor,friend and hero.

Behavior such as that does not belong within the confines of humanity. Keep soaring like an angel tied to the wings of heroism and sanctity.
