And if people fear the Huntsmen and Huntresses, then they will refuse to trust them. And then Cinder's line of "taking away what power they have" makes sense. To fiddle with the people's emotions to attract Grimm as well as to render the Huntsmen and Huntresses powerless because of their reputations. That's a pretty good theory there
