Maryland police defend officers' actions after viral videos showed them kneeing and deploying Tasers on Black teenagers to enforce a vaping ban on Ocean City's Boardwalk
In that footage, 18-year-old Taizier Griffin can be seen with his hands up as he's approached by several officers.
However, the teen's brother, who witnessed the confrontation, said his sibling was following police instructions to take off his backpack when the Taser was employed. Taizier Griffin was booked on charges of assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. It was not known Tuesday if Griffin, who was released after posting $3,000 bail, has entered a plea to the charges.
