The BBC is no stranger to colonialist symbolism, but reporters provided only the facts & no hypotheses:
"Authorities in New York are investigating who raised two large white flags on the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge early on Tuesday... John Miller, deputy New York police commissioner for intelligence and counter-terrorism, told reporters: "They will be prosecuted. We don't take these things lightly or as a joke or as art, or within the realm of speech." ...The flags appeared to be American flags bleached white. Authorities removed the white flags and are now searching social media for clues."
Serious & Dangerous !
