15. Of course this isn't the whole story.

That's why the police generally investigate something like this, to determine the whole story. And a context-less video of a dude cold-cocking another dude is totally something that should be investigated, if only to exonerate one party or the other…but in this case, the Seattle PD decided that since the Nazi declined to talk to them, despite having clear video evidence that this Punch-A-Nazi-Fun-Fest was TECHNICALLY illegal and "assault blah blah blah"…nobody else "reported a crime", they closed the book on it.

And I'm fine with that.
