I haven't watched those films in a while but isn't one of spiderman's things "fuck the police, help the poor"? I know he runs a food bank in the new games

It's inconsistent, to put it mildly. Spider-Man is generally a working class hero and is also an impressionable kid constantly struggling under the pressure to do good. Sometimes that puts him at odds with NYPD, sometimes he comes out in favor of the Super Registration Act (he flip-flopped later)

That's what happens when a thousand writers contrivute to one canon.
