IMO seems as though when the police saw the truck on camera driving east, that the flag was already up. Unsure though. MOO

To minimize blowback if the flag was…say…an ISIS flag?

If that was their motivation I'd say it's going to backfire big time.

Why would LE cover the flag?

How dare they allow joe public to know everything they know.

For those of you who can see better than I can, aren't those Texas license plates?
Never mind, CBS just stated that it is indeed Texas License plate.

To prevent anyone from seeing it- so people don't jump to conclusions, so the perp doesn't get the attention they wanted

It is one of the best known black flags out there that is linked to a political ideology.

But it could be a skull and crossbones pirate flag, for all we know. It's Nola, where a couple of hundred years ago, Lafitte ruled the waves.

Until we hear more, we're all just spinning our wheels.

MOO

And, there’s a black American flag as well that represents “no quarter given,” but it’s not as likely someone would hide those flags under a jacket. MOO

I’m hoping we soon learn the identity of the person the truck is registered to.

Wouldnt make a difference. The truck was rented out to the suspect

It's registered to a dealership employee, which is common practice. The employee is likely not the suspect.
