One or more suspects don't view a man or woman's age or experience when in the commission of violence and terror. It's torment and turmoil released into society's lap for good public servants to face every second. Your watch, Officer Cook, was a constant reminder for even the best and most highly trained to stay sharp and never assume anything. It will always be why did Mr. Pearsall commit these offenses against you and your fellow comrades, all dignified, honorable and complete with character and integrity. Ingenuity cannot always invent a solution yet your heroic actions did in fact save Dade County that somber day of May 16,1979. A hot and sunny day five minutes until you finished your shift and badge#1664 was taken away robbed from his loved ones and forever fitted with angel wings for a perfect mission to continue in heaven. Never forgotten and forevermore engaging and loyal to the very last ounce of energy from your heart. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
