Raven tortured and nothing done until she's proven innocent isn't unbelievable. Historically, people being tortured and killed for crimes isn't unusual. Even innocent people. The Sky People couldn't do much there since they were outnumbered. Also, they still needed the Grounders, so any action they took had to be with that in mind.

Sky People in s3 - yeah they weren't concerned about the numbers because they weren't immediately surrounded, well except by that army... They were much more established after three months and less worried about the newness of being on the ground. What they knew about the Grounders was generally negative (including Grounders killing Sky People, abandoned them at Mount Weather, and most recently, blowing up Mount Weather while a group of Sky People were living inside). They were thinking with their negative emotions, not with logic when they voted for Pike. (And given how many people in the real world do that with their votes, I'm not surprised.)

As for 10 people with guns kill 300 plan vs Finn's execution – it wasn't that easy. First of all, that army was sleeping with their backs turned - they were watching for Azgeda to attack, not those they were protecting. Finn's execution, was the opposite, the Grounders were watching Arkadia. Second, Sky People were a lot less established on the ground. They were more cautious. Third, Sky People believed in the death sentence and Finn was not innocent.

You can call it murder in a bizarre ritual, but it was an execution, and historically, there's been plenty of bizarre rituals involved with executions.
