RAPPER WRETCH 32 has shared frightening Met police body cam video showing the moment cops tasered his 62-year-old dad.
With distraught people screaming in the background, his dad can be seen lying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs in London.
The clip is likely to increase tensions in the wake of the alleged murder of unarmed black man George Floyd at the hands of police in America – but Scotland Yard insist officers acted appropriately.
The footage, taken from police body camera footage on April 21 in Haringey, was shared by the rapper on Twitter.
He tweeted: “This is how the police think they can treat a 62 year old black man in Tottenham but this 1 happens to be my dad #Nojusticenopeace.”
As officers enter the property, a woman can be heard saying: “Don’t touch me, I’m not resisting.”

Wretch and his cronies will film police, but not their gang who sell drugs, etc. Man, that’s funny af. Alas, he’s a snitch
Some context:
It is police protocol to make sure nobody interferes with their warrant, and I think in this case the police had reports of some shady stuff going down in the area. So I can guess that the police had to taser the man because he was probably refusing to stop moving, and was therefore classed as a threat. What if he ran up to them and pulled a knife on them? They had to take the risk, and as far as I know they ended up arresting someone, so I guess the operation was a success. It's a shame the media only portrays the bad and it gives the police a bad rep.
Sick!! These cops shd be sacked!! They could have killed that man. It must have been a terrifying event for this family.
The root of all good is knowledge and justice, and the root of all evil is ignorance and injustice. *
Cops did nothing wrong.
Beware of American issues that suddenly become worldwide issues when they never have been before, there is a much larger agenda here.
Obey the Law, and this won’t happen. Why is this so hard to get across?
It turns out walking towards an officer holding a Taser, who is warning you not to come forward or you'll be Tased, could end up with you being Tased.
Aye my dad gets tazered all the time I think it’s cause we’ve got the cops round all the time for absolutely no reason!
Remember Rotherham
They were harbouring a criminal and the police had a warrant of arrest. The dad was told not to move and he moved, got tasered. NEXT PLEASE ffs
The officers have been absolved of any blame. He was perceived as a threat for not obeying orders to stop. Nothing to see here.
Not all police are bad but yes there are alot of bad seeds in the force not just here but everywhere around the globe
UK POLICE BEEN PICKING ON PUBLIC & DOING WRONG FOR YEARS NOW NEEDS STOP NOW UK POLICE BRUTALITY UK POLICE OFFICERS FOR YEARS BEEN OVER USING THEIR POWERS IT WAS GOING TO COME TO THIS PROTESTS BECAUSE OF UK PLACE AND HOW THEY CARRIED ON FOR YEARS AND GOT AWAY WITH IT WELL IT'S GOT TO STOP NOW AND IT'S GOING STOP AND THIS IS MOST OF THE UK SPEAKING THE PUBLIC THE UK PUBLIC HAVE JUST HAD ENOUGH OF UK POLICE BRUTALITY PICKING ON UK PUBLIC FOR YEARS
Zero context to this video. I highly doubt UK police would just burst into someones home and taze them for no reason.
Blm/the sun
What was he arrested for. And do you beleave that this only happens to black people.
Brutality my arse resisting arrest brings consequences being a black doesn't bring any more rights than anyone else…live by the sword die by the sword.
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
Idiot
Aggression is met with aggression, i have encountered hundreds of police officers with tasers and never once been tasered
IF you act with aggression and threaten the safety of the police officer or any other person then the police have the right to use force
You cannot expect there to be nothing in return for your behaviour, you cannot use the “i wasn’t doing anything” once you have been subdued by something in your eyes wasn’t necessary
Someone carrying a weapon or threatening violence is a threat, until they no longer can be
Moderate your behaviour and the behaviour in turn will be moderated accordingly
It has nothing to do with race, it’s purely about behaviour
