Did people really assume she was a thief just because the people filming her said so?

I can understand why this was the initial reaction.

After encounters like BBQ Becky, the woman who wouldn't leash her dog and threatened a black guy who was birdwatching, and a call to 911 over a black "woman" who was an 8-yo girl spraying lantern flies, there's little expectation anymore of black people being allowed to exist in public without harassment by white people.

A lot of the benefit of the doubt has been eroded.

As a result, you can see how assumptions were made under similar circumstances.
