New York’s finest serving and protecting. When the NYPD isn’t murdering citizens with choke holds, they are busy not keeping anyone from strolling to the top of the Brooklyn Bridge and replacing the American flags with white flags. So let me get this straight. NYC is crawling with police and surveillance cameras, but these bozos have no idea who did this? Doesn’t that give you a warm comfy feeling about our 2nd responders? When OWS protestors dared to walk across the bridge the thugs that couldn’t shoot straight beat the living shit out of them and threw them in jail. Just as the 2nd responders were worthless during the Boston Marathon bombing, the Brooklyn Bridge could have been blown up without them having a clue. Trusting the government to protect you is a joke. Only the feeble minded and ignorant could believe such a thing.
White Flags Mysteriously Appear on Brooklyn Bridge

Something strange is afoot in NY this morning…
The two American flags that normally fly over the Brooklyn Bridge were somehow replaced by white flags.
CBS News reported [3] that “a hint of stars and strips can be seen on the white flags,” and the NY Post [2] said that emergency services cops lowered the flags and packed them up with what appeared to be painting supplies.
As of now, no one knows who placed them there – or how they were able to breach security, scale the bridge, and place the flags unnoticed.
A plain white flag is an internationally recognized symbol of surrender or truce, as explained by WorldFlags101 [4]:
The flag indicates peace and is usually flown or waved in times of war. Soldiers who are carrying a white flag should not be fired on and in turn they should not fire upon anyone. If an individual negotiator is carrying the white flag it means he is unarmed and has come in peace with the intent to surrender or negotiate.
A white flag is made of any material available at the time and it is the symbol itself, not the flag, which signifies its meaning. A white hanky or white paper may be used to indicate the person’s intentions. People carrying the white flag are expected to remain neutral and are not allowed to participate in war-like acts.
New Yorkers Tweeted about the mysterious flags this morning:
The bridge connects Manhattan to Brooklyn over the East River, and has its base just a few blocks from City Hall and police headquarters in lower Manhattan.
Signs posted near the bridge state that it is under NYPD video surveillance (great job, NYPD!) so perhaps the mystery will be solved at some point.
Until then, curiosity about who placed the flags there and why will surely abound.

No trouble deciphering what those flags mean.
It is, quite simply, art.
What does it mean? It’s about war and peace and genocide, and about conscience.It’s a statement, made in the right place at the right time, by the right persons.
“Artists,” he said, “are people who say, ‘I can’t fix my country or my state of my city, or even my marriage. But by golly, I can make this square of canvas, or this eight-and-a-half-by-eleven piece of paper, or this lump of clay, or these twelve bars of music, exactly what they ought to be!”

It was either Putin or the Ukrainian-Russian separatists. I am 100% positive about that.
NYC has surrendered alright…to the gay/lesbian agenda, to the fascist copfuks, to the nanny “you can’t sell 20+ ounce softdrink” mayor, etc., etc.
This is just incredible, something right of bold ass fiction. A group of artisans defiantly raise a white flag over Gotham under the watchful eye of Homeland Security. They are either flipping the proverbial finger to us all, or signaling a rising tide of American sentiment of enough is enough.
1980’s kid flew small plane into Moscow, proving their impenetrable radar system was a joke.What we have here is proof the surveillance cameras are decoys, the USA is broke and can’t fix her infrastructure, much less monitor it.
proves that one artist, let’s call him David, has shown that Goliath is not invincible.
It had to be the French…
To whomever did this, thank you.
And I agree.
I freaking give up.
Immigrant kids, our kids soon to be dying throughout the world, our money getting ready to fly away, our bank accounts to be raided, our lifetime of retirement savings looted, our very health destroyed by the shots and pills, our rights eroded, our grandparents, and kindergarteners, being tazed – some to death, lifetime pay, destroyed business, Chinese freaking imported EVERYTHING, frankenfoods,
I GIVE THE HELL UP TOO!
And kudos flag bearer, I hope you continue on your merry way and prove the Emperor has no clothes, again.
TE’s indomitable optimism just kills the TBP angst.
One should fly permanent half mast over the capital building in D.C..
Maybe that is a top secret for sale sign to pay off debt.
I know who did it. ISIS!
Boo!
