RJ, thanks for your usual due diligence with your research. "Strange" would be on word to describe the current state of affairs - I can think of many others, none very optimistic. As for trying to become gray, I have never put any type of stickers, etc. on my vehicles, with one exception: On my 1978 Silverado 4x4, I have a "Support Our Troops" bright yellow magnet on the tailgate for the last dozen years or so. I also plead guilty to wearing a Thin Blue Line rubber bracelet on my left wrist, 24/7 (right beside an orange - was originally black, but it's worn off - "RampagefortheCure.org") - and a paracord Thin Blue Line on the other wrist when out and about. The paracord was given to me by a close friend, who retired after 38 years of LE. Maybe I'm foolish and naive for wearing them, but what I know for sure is that on the occasions when I do encounter any LEOs, the feedback is "much appreciated." As for the now-orange one: RIP, TLG.
