Consideration, care and kindness should be exhibited by all mankind. Society does not need gall and violence to display its ugliness.

Dade County where you served vigorously, Officer Cook, was a challenge you were up against. You took responsibility with valor and vigilance surrounding your every sacred movement.

To deduce and to come up with a game plan to defeat this adversarial enemy of humanity is the operation of all who serve. But,humility,honor and respect must trail one's tenacious integrity and dignity as it pursues this corruption of happiness and peace within our gates. Within the homes of Dade County there you were present and responsible, Officer Cook.

With all the wars, strife, adversity,grief and bloodshed this society has endured you would think something positive has happened. Perhaps not.

Those wagons need to be circled. All this wickedness and evil when does it end forever? Everytime someone dies at the hands of police it seems if they are of an African American race problems seem to abound. Why? Just seems to crop up. Good mem and women of all races, creeds and the honest intentions have to develop a plan a recipe for some sort of successful outcome. Dade County had men and women like yourself, Officer Cook, with the greatest humility and virtue, blessed with heart and character, dignity and integrity to provide safe havens for mankind. It was just terrible that you lost your life and career sacrificed to make civilization strong once again. All the sweat and toil, respect and reverence stenciled on your badge and uniform, Our Creator has bestowed his rewards upon your soul my neighbor, friend and hero. Rest in peace.
