But again, it's still basically ignoring/sweeping crimes right under the rug to the point that said laws might as well not exist.
.
No, i'm saying the good things pay back for the crimes. That's not sweeping them under the Rug.
Don't start backpedaling here. YOU said that participating in said fights, it counts as redemption. But now you're saying when the threat is over, said villains aren't necessary anymore? Which is it?

People can't have multiple motivations for something? Part of the reason I think the Undersiders should be left alone is because their useful, partially because I think they've mostly or totally made up for their crimes. When they stop being useful, if they start making trouble again, by all means, arrest them. If they don't, I see no reason to go after them.
What if the cop was your father? What if the cop didn't die, but was permanently disabled? What if the bank takes so much damage and loss that they have to recoup their losses by giving out layoffs, ruining more lives in the process? What if the money stolen exchanges hands towards people who either intentionally or even unintentionally fuck up a lot of lives?
There's seriously a lot of underlying factors you're ignoring here..
Well, if the cop was my father, then my opinion is worth less because i'd be biased from the start. And if you can add arbitrary additions, so can I. What if the guy used the bank's money to help feed his family? What if the cops were using excessive force? What if the bank is corrupt?
Try putting it this way.
You're part of a unit made for keeping peace in a city. And one day this new gang starts doing all sorts of crap, unable to be caught and generally get a lot of power in the underworld. One day, a bigger criminal rolls in and said gang comes in and says they want to help. Even if you needed the help, what makes you think for one second you can actually TRUST them? (This is actually something i HATED from the story, Taylor clearly keeps doing untrustworthy things and then turns around saying the Heroes should be the ones to offer trust)
If this gang doesn't have a reputation for being murderous assholes and have helped multiple times against previous bigger threats, i'd be inclined to give a little trust if the threat is real.
If we're talking from an universal perspective, a single, insignificant blue planet means nothing.
Ok, again, stop putting words in my mouth. It's fairly obvious from context that by in universe perspective I am talking about from the perspective of the actual society in the Wormverse, not some bullshit abstract universe wide perspective.
