I've never been in law enforcement, or the military, so take this with a grain... a cup full... of salt. Could the issue possibly be that if the blades where white, then the flashing of the paddle blade may have been mistaken for some sort of "flash" from a weapon being fired? A puff of smoke as a rocket takes flight, perhaps?
