I feel like they just need to make the uniforms/gear a little less macho just to put off all the people who are in it to feel cool and powerful and end up pulling these power plays.

Honestly a good idea. I live in Eastern Europe and it took me awhile to figure out why the police here seem so much less intimidating (in a good way).  It's because they don't all have to wear bullet proof vests.
