I feel like the police force thing was thrown out there as a good idea, but not utilized properly in explaining this backstory. Why all this garbage about a coup, when it's more logical to have them abusing their police powers. If the council really feared them for THAT reason, and couldn't arrest them for corruption because there's no one else to do the arresting, then I can see why they'd be so scared of them. That might justify something drastic. But this "planning to take over" business is stupid. Take over and do WHAT, exactly? Why take over when they're already in power in a very real way?
Plus, these are all assassins. It's a town full of assassins. Why wouldn't the uchiha clans just assassinate the councilors they don't like, frame another village for the crime, and make sure one of their own gets to replace the dead councilmen? Why plan a drastic takeover when there are so much easier ways?
