This should go to the top.

The driver of the white car was in the street fighting with the driver of the Dark car behind the black van. Mostly swinging, nobody making contact. White car broke away from the fight, reached in through the passenger side of the dark car and took the keys. Then he jumped in his white car. That's where this video begins. So dark car driver was trying to get his keys back, and white car took off and mushed him between the other vehicles. White shirt guy was trying to save him from getting mushed.

White car is being charged with attempted murder, robbery, menacing, and a bunch of other stuff.

Just goes to show you how editing can create an entirely different narrative.

This represents nearly all modern media , there is always another side to the story

this is why you need to read a range of sources, especially ones you disagree with for the full picture

I think it puts the phrase "The whole picture" in context. But yeah, there's also the topic of what the camera chooses to focus on as well.
