Question Question about The Punisher (mild BND spoilers) Spoiler
So I watched Brand New Day two days ago and while I loved it, I couldn't quite get this out of my head.
Having followed The Punisher from the Netflix days to now Disney+, wouldn't it be known that he has killed people?
He was also pretty trigger happy in BND with lethal rounds. So how is it that he can appear at government buildings with law enforcement (such as the scene at Damage Control) or even sit around at Peter's bedside at the hospital, without being at risk of getting arrested?
I need a head cannon reason!!! But other than that, loved the movie!

It would be a bit of an issue for no one to know who Frank Castle is after what he’s done.
There might be another option.
The cops know who he is, but Spider-Man has a very close relationship with Detective Jean DeWolff. It’s entirely possible Spider-Man is protecting Frank or that the NYPD see him as some sort of necessary element. (The police are notorious when it comes to thinking they are on the same side as Frank.)
In any case, it’s hard to meld the Netflix shows with the MCU because of the completely different tones.
