They have weapons (gun, baton, pepperspray, etc.), they are in a position of immense authority (they can tell people to pull over, they can take away their freedom by arresting them, etc.), and there have been instances of them abusing their power.

Agreed, and that is why everyone needs to fight for gun rights and the right to defend themselves. We are giving police too much athourity over our lives and leaving ourselves defensless aginst them when they do decide to overstep their authority.  

Im all for gun rights but in this context i think it may do more harm than good. Innocent civilians have been shot for going for their wallet, holding a pole a knife even a cellphone, how much more do you think this would happen when you pit a nervous untrained civilian against a trained, nervous trigger happy cop.
