They let her leave voluntarily because she hadn’t committed a crime. They didn’t arrest anyone. Here’s how the law works: you have to prove you suffered a significant loss to win a lawsuit like this. When a person is killed, the insurance companies and the lawyers put a value on that persons’s life. They throw in extenuating circumstances, whether or not they have dependents, how many, are any of them disabled, how many working years the person had left in them, etc. If someone runs over an 80-year-old women with no family, the payout is next to nothing. A 40-year-old man with 5 young kids and his blind grandmother to support gets run over, it’s big bucks. You are right that we have to wait and see and not assume just because she’s running a YouTube channel they won’t eventually come to an understanding. I’m also not saying the other woman isn’t trying to work some angle of her own. It seems like everyone is quick to play the victim these days. Imagine for a minute though how things would have gone if the white woman ordered the black woman to back away six feet because she felt crowded? Would she have done so without complaint? I seriously doubt it.
