The Service assigned two investigators to the incident and along with evidence received from the community, the investigators scoured social media and over the past week have watched and analyzed the clips provided by various sources.
Investigators also spoke with the complainants in the matter and pending new information there are no grounds to proceed with criminal charges at this time.
While the behaviour, actions, and comments are disrespectful and should not be encouraged or condoned, they fail to rise to the threshold of being criminal in nature.
We recognize that this may not be the news some have wanted to hear. The fact that exchanges between those with differing opinions continues to be disrespectful and unproductive is troubling and the systemic undercurrent of hate and anger should bother us all as a community. As we have during the past several years, the Service continues to encourage residents to be respectful in their expression of opinion.
Anyone with further information on the incident is encouraged to come forward and contact the Peterborough Police Crime Line at 705-876-1122 x555 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.stopcrimehere.ca.
