Any innocent Crystal Braves would just act on orders given that you turned traitor from their perspective.
We know what would have happened: you wouldn't have been captured like a scrub. I see several people trying to argue this point, but did you miss how they're trying to frame you? The Syndicate has a lot of sway and they're clearly not above planting evidence and lying so you're "guilty" whether you resist arrest or not. Since you're guilty anyway you may as well evade arrest until you can clear your name. Also, considering the length of time the entire coupe had been planned and the way it even played out, it heavily implies that all of the Blades and Braves present were on the take anyway so it's unlikely you'd be cutting down someone innocently doing their job.
