#there're many things that can be spelled out louder? but they're all too obvious to even need an explanation

[Also, zero tolerance for any form of hate toward Mina. I won't elaborate]

By holding Kafka at gun point is to show everyone(and leave a recorded evidence) that he's willing to comply. Imagine if everyone just play along and let Kafka slip. 3rd division is made of the most awesome folks you can find in military so they are all good person..it'll leave a chance of them to doubt his action. Just one person voicing their doubt to the outsider things will get ugly real fast. Can Mina be more friendly while doing so? "Thanks for saving us but it's our job to put you under arrest and we'll try our best to get you out" while everyone is watching? Then it can be seen as he just complied because he knows everyong has got his back. That's a whole room for a seed doubt to grow in.

As stressful as the 'you're under arrest' moment was, I don't quite understand why ppl will think Mina should do anything else(I can imagine having a different life experience or lackof affected ppl view on this but I won't pretend to understand here). The whole division, including drone camera, a whole operation control room, and that explosion should be visible from several kilometres away and it won't take even a minute for someone to start freaking out somewhere. And the last thing you want is for anyone to doubt that the one in command have no ability to control the situation.

By putting offensive stance, to tell Kafka that he's identified as Kaiju no.8 and now under arrest, to show all parties that he's willing to get arrested on the top of all that not only prove his humanity, but also his selflessness. It's rough on the surface, but a certain kindness is definitely there.

(note: I'm avoiding mention the higher-up because it's in the next arc as well as the outside influcences bc we don't see much of them (aside their wholesomeness and being good people in general. like cleaning crews. The future beyond the current cataclysm arc scares me tho....)

("he should let them die" is probably the most hillarious consider what we already know about the jakdf afterward (3rd division are your true friends bro...)
