Its almost as though the citizens can remove that power if its abused...

Is your point that because citizens gave police power at some point that they can't possibly object to them abusing it...?

Well, it's not very rational to tell your objections to the same people that you want to take power away.

Yes, the police must treat every innocent person with respect and even reserve some dose of respect to criminals. Yes, it's our duty to try to fix the situation when that do not help. But no, it's not advisable to try to fix that in the exact instant the problem is happening.
