Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Society at times is a sinful pit of pulsating trouble. Whatever treachery can sprout forth does. All you ever did, Officer Cook, was a fantastic job keeping true to form in helping to extinguish the flames of fiery violence. One moment can be earth shattering and exactly what transpired on May 16, 1979 when you ever present humility and honor, dignity and virtuous integrity were taken from you. A wicked man who never got it. He never complied with your orders. If he listened and obeyed directives possibly your life and career would have concluded in a much more civil way. Retirement and enjoyment would encircle your paths and trails of freedom and pleasure. Now and for eternity your soul, Officer Cook stays protected above the world where you built the fabrics of esteem and sanctity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Dade County bears true allegiance to your pursuits of serenity and security for mankind.
