Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

We age and hopefully gracefully as well. You should have been allowed to age this way too, Officer Cook. Too many changes and a loss to your family and department that Dade County will never forget. Your family had a gaping hole implanted in their hearts and souls because of one evil man. Such a man does not belong among humanity. The indignity of losing everything just because of him not wanting to obey commands given to him to safeguard and to preserve the integrity of mankind. Never again my neighbor, friend and hero will pain and harm come your direction. Integrity and dignity all humbly honored by such a warm,devout and instrumentally concerned human being. Rest in peace.
