One of the officers had injuries to the face. The other may have suffered a concussion.The man, 23, was also taken to Etobicoke General Hospital where he is being assessed, police said.Officers are trained yearly on when to use force, Tudos said."When we do use any use-of-force weapon, it has to be justified by the actions of the person that they're interacting with," Tudos said.Hmmmm.........No word on the identity or religious convictions of the man?Read and see (Video) the full story here.
