You're looking at it through the perspective of the characters, I'm looking at it through the eyes of a writer and the scene was set up beautifully just for that.

You haven't thought it through,  I believe Cinder word will carry a lot more weight in Mystral than you think. Here's how it's going to go:

Cinder will go to Haven and explain that Atlas troops turned on them, she'll show the video as proof. Then RJNR will show up and say she lying, that she was the one that cause everything that happened. Cinder will then say that it's Ruby that's lying, she was trying to stop the dragon with Pyrrha when suddenly she appeared and attacked them. Mercury will say that it was Ruby's sister that broker his leg, he can even say that she attacked him in the hallway afterwards.

Who do you think they will believe? The person that came from mystral which brought proof of Atlas duplicity or a bunch of kids from Beacon?
