I also don't understand why West Point is taking action against King when charges were not filed!

Me neither! If he was convicted of public intoxication or assault, that would be grounds for dismissal. But it's pretty clear that the cadet got jumped virtually from behind while he was engaged in a phone call. Then he was driven into a cement stanchion and knocked unconcious.

What I would like to know is who at West Point did the "investigating"? Did they see this video tape? Lastly, what criteria are they using for dismissal these days?

Seems grossly unjust to take a cadet who is slated to graduate this year with an officer's commission over an event that was beyond his control.

I'm thinking West Point made their decision before the lawyer got the video tape. Now that King has a lawyer, I hope they are looking at a way to appeal West Point's decision. Show them the video and then have them read the limo driver's complaint again. The two don't match up.
