So I have a fear of guns and a distrust of cops. I've always been scared of guns and in my experience, cops have always done more harm than good. However, my boyfriend is very pro-gun and he's about to begin training at the police academy. I guess my thing is that I'd like to get over both my fear and my distrust because I care about him and I don't want to be scared anymore, plus my fear of guns makes me feel like a huge wimp. Are there any ways to do this or just overcoming fear in general?

First, you need to figure out where the fear comes from.
Why are you scared of guns?
Do you have any specific situations that make you distrust the police?

Why are you afraid of cops? They're literally there to protect you.
The best way to overcome fear is to confront it. Go shoot a gun at a range, get training... maybe start with something simple, like a BB Gun or .22 that couldn't really hurt you or anyone else if you tried. Just get comfortable.

Guns scare me just because of what people are able to do with them. They can end up in the wrong hands, lack of safety, availability. Plus the sound of them going off scares me to death.

That's what my boyfriend tells me and I want to believe him but I just can't see it the same way. It doesn't help with all the cop shit on the news making it worse. The gun range is something he suggested too but I'm not sure about it, I keep wimping out.

Cops carry out the law, they're not obliged to protect citizens.
