Is there ever an instance of power being taken away from armed groups like police or military, in any country? I think it's very easy to grant power, and very hard to revoke. Also, what happens if the police departments refuse to accept the decision. I am not kidding, I read that there was a strike by San Francisco police in 1975 where the police refused to follow court orders and declared them "illegal".

My understanding is that ending qualified immunity would open police officers up to lawsuits around their use of force that they’re currently exempt from today. So, officers risk significant financial damage by choosing to ignore this change if it becomes law.
