Since you MCU fans are slow at getting things, I'll ask you a couple of questions:
Armed bank robbers try to rob a bank but the cops show up before robbers can get out of the bank. So the robbers barricade the doors and are inside the bank with hostages. Do you think the 1st thing the cops should do is just storm into the bank with guns and smoke grenades and try to take down the bank robbers with all the hostages inside? Or should the cops try to negotiate with the bank robbers and try to get some hostages released before taking aggressive action such as storming the bank with all the hostages inside?
Cap's team chasing Crossbones through a crowded market in the middle of the day when there were many civilians was reckless and caused maximum civilian casualties. That's why Secretary Ross and the UN wanted the Avengers to sign the Accords, in order to prevent future reckless actions that maximize civilian casualties. But Cap refused to sign the Accords because he wanted to be a tyrant without any oversight or limit on his powers.
That's what the FBI did when they went after John Dillinger. Dillinger was #1 on the FBI's Most Wanted List. The FBI knew DIillinger was inside that theater. Sure, they could've stormed into the theater with dozens of armed FBI agents, but if Dillinger had a weapon and they got into a shootout, civilians would've most likely been killed.
But they didn't let Dillinger get away either. They waited outside the theater for Dillinger to come out and for the crowd to disperse and then they moved in on Dillinger. They got Dillinger without any civilian casualties. That's how to apprehend a dangerous criminal while minimizing civilian casualties, not the way that Cap's team recklessly disregarded civilian lives.
And yes, they should be chastised. When cops act recklessly and get civilians killed, somebody gets reprimanded or suspended or demoted or fired (or at worst, even prosecuted). Cops are supposed be trusted by the people to protect and serve so cops have a responsibility to protect civilian lives and when cops act recklessly and endanger civilian lives, they have to be held accountable. The Avengers want to be "heroes" but they don't want the responsibility of protecting civilian lives and they want to be able to act recklessly without regard for civilian lives and not be held accountable.
That's why Cap didn't want to sign the Accords. Because Cap wanted to be a tyrant with no oversight or limitation on his power and authority.
