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".

With the Posse Comitatus Act, the Federal Government limited its ability to use the military as a domestic police force. The Insurrection Act limited how the President could deploy military domestically as well.
