* AmbiguouslyEvil: It's clear that especially from a mutant POV Sentinel Services is bad news and disappears people and Turner is very aggressive with use of force. It's also clear that society at large treats mutants as akin to terrorists (Andy's incident at the school is straight up reported as a terrorist attack) with little dissent and would consider Turner appropriate if not heroic.
