Place pork in a 5-quart Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Rub with spice mixture.

In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, garlic, and 1/2 cup water and pour over pork. Cover pot, and place in oven on lower rack. Bake until pork is very tender and separates easily when pulled with a fork, 2-2 1/2 hours.

Transfer pork to a work surface, reserving pan juices. With 2 forks, shred meat. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with pan juices to moisten.

To make the sauce, in a saucepan over medium heat, add vinegar, water, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, hot pepper flakes, and peppers and whisk until sugar and salt are dissolved. Cook for 5 minutes. and let cool.

To make the coleslaw, using a food processor with the grater attachment, chop cabbages into a bowl. Add some sauce and season with salt and toss to combine. Let sit 10 minutes, season and toss again. Serve pork on buns with sauce and slaw.
