My perception is that that the black and white isn't necessarily our own roots, but rather inspired by the roots of our neighbour. The OPP is an obvious exception. But Calgary certainly isn't going back to some famous colour scheme.
And if we're talking "visibility" and not also talking about Battenburg markings, then we're just talking nonsense. Go big or go home.
That being said, a paint scheme alone does not make a police force more violent. I don't really like the black scheme, but I don't feel intimidated by it.
