Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
Never serve up any aggression to an already agitated monster. Kind of like walking into an animals's cage thinking nothing will occur. Terrible that Mr. Pearsall did not have any honor,integrity or dignity like you and your comrades had that day and all the time, Officer Cook. He might have realized the our peace and goodwill was taken by his wanton and very classless actions on May 16, 1979. You persevered and protected us, Officer Cook, a hero of humble character and quality of conviction. Mankind salutes your warrior legacy and has never overlooked your simple style of public service. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Grace and a smile can work wonders. What functions superbly during violent times are a man or woman's heroic honor, integrity and the reverence afforded dignity. Wickedness spreads and someone must go out on patrol to put out those flames of ferocity. Negative and never a good thing in society. You acted with joy and a good spirit which now rests in Our Lord's lair of brave angels. Valiant and versatile. Durable and resourceful. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero, Officer Cook. Enriching our lives with liberty and trust for mankind.

Dignity, honor, humility and respect for integrity are comparable to a turkey with all the fixings. To fix crime and provide safe shelters is not going to be accomplished by one manor woman alone. It is a total team effort as when you served Dade County , Officer Cook. Evil looks to huff and puff and blow those doors of desire and heroism down, sorry under your watch it was not going to occur. You were a considerate man of class and character channeling goodwill and fueling your morals and ferocity down those roads of resolve. Always cherished and greatly admired. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

A brave caretaker on behalf of Dade County, Officer Cook, police are not lion tamers, but, nevertheless, most deal with treachery and terror on a seemingly never ending basis.
