The Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP has found that two Nunavut police officers used "intolerable force" when arresting a man in Pangnirtung three years ago, and is recommending disciplinary action against them.

The report also found that the officers acted improperly by removing Qaqasiq from his home in February 2003 without shoes, shirt or a jacket in -50 temperatures.
