You don't even have to go beyond the caption.

My concern was with using fake news tactics to prove the lack of provocation. The poster to whom I was responding asserted that the video posted, which begins AFTER the allegedly provocative incident, proves there was no provocation. If something happens at 10:00 AM, and you have a video that begins at 10:30 AM, the video beginning a half hour after the alleged incident cannot prove anything about whether the incident occurred or not because it does not capture the relevant time frame.
