The big revelation is that the whole event was obviously carefully planned way in advance. (except for the death of one of the paid protestors)

The way I understand the story, which may be subject to clarification, modification, and/or change, if I mistakenly characterize the situation (weasle words):
.
In the first couple of minutes of the Ford Fisher (FF) video, the gray Dodge Challenger passes FF, stops at the traffic light and FF makes full pan-shot of the vehicle.
.
The FF approaches the intersection of 4th Street and Water Street. The maroon van is already in the intersection with the nose of the vehicle clear into the cross-walk. That is about five (5) minutes before the incident (did NOT say “accident”). The maroon van does not have a driver or passenger in the vehicle when FF passes on his live-cast.
.
FF walks around three sides of the next block and appears to wait for a couple of minutes along the pedestrian mall (closed to vehicular traffic).
.
The camera is positioned to capture people running away from the “incident” and the gray Dodge exiting the scene in REVERSE going backwards up 4th Street. (Note: Fourth Street is a one-way street north of Water Street and only has parking on one side and a single lane for vehicles. If someone is driving on that segment of 4th Street, there is NO exit. The maroon van and the white convertible effectively formed a plug, so the impact from the gray Dodge squished whatever was in between the vehicles.
.
That’s Charlottesville 101.
.
Now, how about photos of the arrest scene. Who has those pictures.
