We saw how Calgary Police changed from bright colors to a darker more intimidating tone. This might seem laughable to some but it shows the attitude of police here when they want to be more intimidating than visible. And remember the recent corruption that has come out in CPS leadership.

On the cars though, the black and white police car is iconic and recognizable as a police car across North America. That's part of the reason Calgary and many police services across Canada made that change, it's not about being dark and scary it's about history.
It's also much much cheaper than decaling up a white car like they used too.
On the matter of discipline though, i think it would benefit everyone if it was handled from an outside source. I understand that as a cop you feel that most people are against you and you need to have each other's backs no matter what, but sadly that results in sometimes cops protecting other cops that they simply shouldn't be
