Lol, this is the Dirty Harry argument all over again. Evil cop person who doesn’t respect law or due process. Bureaucracy good, vigilante bad, there is no grey area. You can see these retards in the characters, the useless attack journalist you can punch out, Uldina is basically Nancy pelosi circa 2008, etc. the entire point of shepherds story was that he was constantly undermined because he was the only one who initially found out about the reapers. His battle was to save the galaxy despite itself, it’s a heavily religious allegory that they backpedaled hard on while rushing forward to in three. The entire purpose of shepherd was to be the shepherd in the valley and save life despite itself. Allegorically we see these themes constantly in history, Jesus, Prometheus, hell half of Greek mythology is Demi humans achievements despite both gods and humans meddling.
You could tell the writing took a hard drop after the first one. Hell even the “we must save the council” in the first one was cringy, we must sacrifice our military fleets to save three people who consistently worked against you the entire story. You chose to ignore the sacred political elite and save the lives of millions of others? How renegade of you.

Shep gets away with everything as Super Cop because he's the player character and the story tells us he works for the government because reasons.
Technically in ME2 he's a terrorist lol
He should have beaten up the entire council too. ORA ORA ORA!
