Punishing a remorseful 15 year old is stupid. Sure they need an output for their revenge, but I suppose they were punishing his father more than anything, easier to vent on his son than flail about trying to find the man himself.
I dont think Eliah even shot anyone, it was his robot buddy! Blame the robot!
Yeah, but, the fact of the matter is that Cherubim, or rather the deflecting bullets, wouldn't have harmed anyone if Elijah hadn't tried to rescue Hannah and Mana all on his own. He really had no business doing this. But, Sophia and Kenji didn't have much choice considering he'd do it anyway and he was a means to an end to get to Maya.
And, yeah, Tony didn't have much choice. It was either they'd accuse Elijah or trying to escape, kill him, and plant a gun on him or this. Sure, he got beaten up, but this was the safer of the two no doubt. Also, it is a way to get a Enoah himself. By picking on his son. I'm sure shit like this is pretty common. Cops picking on a powerful persons family, especially when they put themselves in a situation like Elijah did.
