Police harass young man until he commits suicide

Heads need to roll over this - and pronto.

Andrew Cain, 19, was a young man from Pullman, Washington. Recently, he fell on the radar of authorities in Latah County, Idaho, because he failed to appear in court over a minor drug charge.

A Latah County sheriff's deputy assigned to the case posted a photo of Cain on the Facebook page of the sheriff's office calling him "Wanted Person of the Month." The deputy then began harassing Cain with private Facebook messages and spreading false rumors about Cain all over the Internet.

These rumors accused Cain of crimes he didn't commit. Following these false allegations, other local residents also began harassing Cain.

As a result of this harassment, Cain took his own life.

The deputy needs to be charged with murder. In my day, we had a free country, and murder would have been the charge without hesitation. Why should an out-of-control drug warrior get to drive a person to his death and walk free?
