Except Eren is not seen as their brethren. He attacks the country, kills one of its important people which in turn leads to innocent people (yes, I say innocent, because those people were just bystanders and children) getting killed from collateral damage, then proceeds to kill one of their warriors. He's even later arrested once again for putting the Survey Corps at risk.

You have to keep in mind that AOT isn't telling some generic superhero story where there's a clear hero and villain. This is a war being told, in which anyone can be interpreted as the hero or the villain. The Marley Arc clearly showed this. That scene with him talking to Reiner showed that he and Reiner are essentially no different from each other; they are both trying to achieve a common goal but have to make heavy risks in order to do so. This is already supported by the fact that we know of Reiner's intentions in the story at this point.
