Protecting civilians from dangerous gangs isn’t the turtles’ job?

And normally they’d go after the Purple Dragons and stop them from causing more trouble, but Raph’s death shook them pretty hard and they instead focused on getting revenge on the Foot.

Mikey could’ve just continued to evade Death Worm and ignore all the carnage since his main mission was to head back to New York and defeat the Foot Clan once and for all. But thanks to Master Yip, he realized that before he could face Hiroto, he had to face Death Worm first and stop his warpath. It was the honorable thing to do.

Even though they were trained by Splinter since birth to take down the Foot, the turtles used their skills to help others in need regardless of who the oppressors were. Mikey and his brothers thought of New York as their home so of course they would protect it from all enemies. The city was even Mikey’s vision of Heaven after death.
