Most syringes this size I've encountered, the needle is held on by friction (it's a bad design and a pain in the ass when you have to give meds through a needleless port on an IV but it's cheap) . So one explanation is that the syringe and the needle came apart as she was withdrawing it. Another is that yes, you can in fact move a syringe buried up to the hub around more than a broken Atari 2600 controller (trying to sedate someone high on PCP you learn that, as-well-as needles bend rather than break). Due to the obstructed view and poor video quality it hard to tell. Speaking of, I don't think it's intentional. That technique used to be taught for giving an IM injection, it's not the best and some can leak out but it works. If I were going to fake it, I'd take a quality video, give a clear view, do everything textbook, simply inject saline and no one would be the wiser.
