WARNING: Some viewers may find the following content distressing. Rapper Wretch 32 has shared a video of his 62-year-old father being Tasered at his home in north London. The footage, shared by the rapper on Twitter, shows Millard Scott tumbling downstairs after an officer is heard to warn: "Police officer with a Taser. Stay where you are.” Following the incident, which comes in the wake of protests against police brutality following the death of George Floyd in the US, Scott said he believed he would not have been Tasered if he were white. Metropolitan Police said officers went to the property as part of "a long-running operation to tackle drugs supply linked to serious violence”. A spokesperson added: "The incident, including body worn footage, has been reviewed by the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards and no indication of misconduct has been identified.” Credit: Metropolitan Police / via @Wretch32 Twitter
