A Mississippi cop held a young man by the neck as onlookers screamed, “He can’t breathe!,” troubling video shows.

The 2-minute clip posted to Facebook Friday shows a uniformed Jackson police officer with both hands wrapped around the man’s neck.

“What did I tell you to do?” the officer screams at the man, video shows. “Make me, make me, make me … I said make me, boy.”

The officer, identified by the Jackson Free Press as Myron Smith, then tells a woman who tries to intervene to take her hands off him as she says the man is having trouble breathing.

“He’s trying to breathe!” she says. “He’s telling you he can’t breathe.”

Smith then tells the woman he isn’t choking the young man as he holds him against a black Toyota Camry with Mississippi plates, video shows.

Black-on-black crime. Nothing to see here. Move along.

CNN and MSNBSC reporting on this event, non-stop, I’m sure.

And black on white crime as well, nothing to see, move it along like those two black cops in Chicago last February who shot the white dude in the back because he walked between subway cars. Remember all the protests over that? Neither do I.

That will draw as much interest as the Michigan nursing home video or the Delaware graveyard murders.

I think the pressure is getting to the police. Knee-on-neck and hands-around-throat are both over the top, unless the civilian is armed and resisting.

It’s startng to feel that these incidents are being planned and staged to create maximum chaos.

The pressure must have gotten to them several years ago. Here's a 2014 newsclip of a Knox County, TN deputy that strangled a handcuffed, compliant suspect.

You can see he asphyxiates and drops to his knees while the arresting officers do nothing.

Police departments throughout the country should probably train their officers to restrain suspects without grabbing or kneeling on their necks.

No. Watch the cop’s right hand. He’s using his thumb and fingers to pinch the nerve and tendon on the guy’s shoulder. It’s a pressure point that I’ve seen used in subduing people.

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that.

So why did he do it?

That suspect didn’t need to be subdued. He was already compliant.

I have no idea why he did it. But as I said, I’ve seen that particular move taught as a way to subdue someone. Notice the guy went down to his knees pretty quickly. It’s one of the areas of the body that is a pressure point that can cause pain.

Choking someone out takes quite a bit longer than that. Something I learned in boot camp.

I didn’t say the cop was justified in doing it. I was just explaining the technique.

I was choked and beaten while cuffed in Miami stockade in 1991 by two notorious black jailers who ended up busted for home invasions and murder

The Barrett brothers ...I was saved by a tiny black corporal Payne....I owe her my life maybe

They beat my ship captain to the point of he lost bowel control and required hospitalization

My crime in lockdown was fighting the black scum who had crushed the head of a German tourist lady who had just arrived at MIA with her mother and two small children to visit south Florida

Young black thugs waited off Lejuene rd for these hapless Europeans with the old R-#### Florida tags

After knocked her out he ran over her head ala Phil Leotardo

He was bragging since she was German she had it Coming as a racist anyhow...the fellow backs treated him like a hero

I’d had enough and when tennis shoes were squeaking I went for him and wore his bitch ass out

These all ripped little black dudes are fast and look like gargoyles but don’t hit hard and have no legs

When the hacks came in they went for me ..and I cuffed up promptly .....but since I A 32 year old cracker was beating A black guys ass but good they decided to work on me a bit....my ships captain ...a big Colombian from Tolu on the Caribbean coast pissed em off when he called them myattas

This is how the world works freepers

Y’all don’t get it as a rule with Martin Luther king adoration society crap

Young black men are disproportionately a threat to u

And more black cops kill white men than white cops kill black men

Think about it

I think the cops killed that guy in Minneapolis but that doesn’t detract that blacks simply act up more ....

All over the world. Btw
