London mayor seeks answers over Taser use on rapper’s father

LONDON (AP) — London’s mayor has called for an investigation after rapper Wretch 32 released a video of his father being tasered by a police officer. The clip posted on Twitter shows police entering a house. An officer says “Police officer with a Taser. Stay where you are” before a man tumbles down a flight of stairs.  Wretch 32 wrote: “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.”  London’s Metropolitan Police confirmed a stun gun was discharged during an April 21 drug raid and said a review had found no misconduct. But London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the police watchdog should investigate.
