Good thing the NAACP supports banning flavored tobacco and nicotine products. Starting a new drug war will definitely not lead to more incidents like this that disproportionately impact minority groups.

I think the reason why cops act with such brutality in unwarranted, benign situations is that they're bored. Seriously. So they look for the easiest targets: young, black men & women. Even with videos, cops are rarely held accountable for their actions. What do they have to lose?
