Citizens in Mayhem Missions

[Voltor]

Noticed a few things when running a mayhem the other day:

 

1. I target a group of cops and citizens and fire ion judgement. One of the cops was the target.  The ion bolt arced through all the cops but no citizens were touched.   I later target a large group again only this time I use a citizen as the target,  this time the blast hits civilians and cops

 

2. Masterminds seem to need to be told to target citizens yet they will easily attack other targets on their own.

Interesting.  I always fire my ion at a static target like a parking meter so they don't panic right off the bat

Maybe two different groups intermingled and while we see them as one big group the game just cannot make that leap.
