In-comparison the wording of other sections:


 * "Kane established Camp Jaha and began enforcing the rules set forth in the Exodus Charter. After less than a week in office, Kane resigned in order to lead a diplomatic mission to make peace with the Grounders,

Which sound very positive, he is a builder, enforcer of order and seeker of peace. Although on screen he was Chancellor for two days, in which he put Bellamy in prison, refused to send rescue party after the delinquents, lashed Abby for releasing the delinquents, and thinking that the grounders hold the delinquents run off blindly on a one man suicide mission. --although I agree with some of those decisions given the context


 * "Under Abigail Griffin's chancellorship, a tentative peace with the Grounders was established and the war with Mount Weather was ended and won with the remaining Delinquents being brought back to Camp Jaha, which was soon renamed to Arkadia. At Arkadia, Chancellor Griffin helped establish a working community, complete with stables, a hangar bay, and a medical facility."

Again sound very positive, she is bringer of peace and prosperity. Although on screen was told that she isn't in charge, then spent time in the rubble of TonDC and MW captivity, while Clarke did everything. Then we seen Raven in on of her candid moments telling Abby she isn't doing well in any of her jobs. And Kane claiming that she jeopardised their truce by sending people to MW. --although I agree with some of those decisions given the context

Taking example from these, what we should tell about Pike is that his goal was to protect his people from more attacks by the Grounders. But he action resulted in escalation with Collation, turn him against some of his own people who want to stop his plans, and possibly allowed ALIE to take hold (although Kane is on the hook for most of that too)

Although I do think that we should mention him going off the rails with the village plan (which was the turning point for Bellamy and others). As for the rest if mention its important to mention context, that these came after MW attack and with Polis strife brewing and Ice Nation troops exercising a day march from Polis (and Arkadia). And you can't say that Pike ordered the massacre of the coalition army 'sent to protect Arkadia', because unlike the viewer no one knew that for a fact, at best you can say it was said or claimed to be so.

Also in general it is important to remember that while lexa was benevolent and progress leader to us, she was still dictator in society ruled by its need for survival and is far removed from that of the Sky People democracy in terms of liberties and freedoms. A society where her opinions were radical as seen by her constant threat of assassination from day one, comments by all her advisers, and all the 12 clans attempting to vote her out. And that becoming the 13 Clan means more than protection, but submitting to the rule of the Commander, any Commander (Just as that Coalition army outside Arkadia would be loyal to any commander).
