If so, then why the change in tone with Salem ordering Ruby brought to her (alive, since she doesn't want Cinder killing her)? She might want to break Ruby as a way to convince Ozpin that his cause and faith in humanity are totally hopeless.

She might also have ordered Ruby to be brought to her alive while estimating than Ruby would be too inexperienced with her powers to use them against her.
