If you watch their feed from 2:54 in this video, you will see the main instigator of the fire. Notice how the Ruptly camera is constantly focused on the instigator. 
At 2:57 someone places a Bible on the fire. Notice how the instigator moves the Bible so that Ruptly can focus on it, and then places himself into the Ruptly frame with his Black Lives Matter poster. As if he is posing for TV.
Ruptly zooms in on the book title.
At 3:00 the instigator walks out of the frame in the direction of the Ruptly camera, and the livefeed goes dark for 25 seconds. Then, at 3:03 the instigator take his own camera out of his backpack to document the fire he started.
Was the provocateur and Ruptly working together? We don't know. But for anyone working to sow discord in the United States, this was the shot they wanted.
