Wow. Cop was doing a routine traffic stop, gets hit by a 83 lady driving by him, she doesn't realize it, he gets on his bike and goes after her, and cites her, but doesn't arrest her.

Maybe its not an arrestable offence, some traffic offences don't carry that power.
I would have suggested Driving Without Due Care and Attention rather than anything else though.

Well its a hit and run IMO, which I thought was arrestable, but she honestly didn't seem to realize she hit him. So I don't know

I would imagine the Officer used his discretion, no need to subject a little old lady to the trauma of arrest etc, just let the courts deal.

Because it wasn't a huge deal in terms of injuries and there was no property damage was probably why the office gave her a citation. She just misjudged what was a safe distance from another vehicle.

Yep.
If you arrest a little old lady, everyone's gonna think you're the world's biggest prick.

Honestly, not noticing that you hit someone? Her senses are too impaired for her to be driving.
