From what we know and have seen about Akira in both series, I think she does care. The question is how conflicted she is going to be, if/when an order to take him out is given.

There is no doubt in my mind about the Quinx, though Urie is the wild card of the bunch. One thing to remember is that Saiko never wanted to be an Investigator, and doesn't seem to have any strong feelings concerning Ghouls. The only person that has truly been there for her and cared about what she wants is Sasaki, which I think is going to be important.

Mutsuki and Shirazu have stronger feelings concerning Ghouls, but at the same time accept him after having seen him lose control. Shirazu is clearly worried Sasaki will leave if his memories return, but it seems he's also kept a secret what he overheard (that Serpent and Sasaki know each other).

The Anteiku Raid is a complicated issue. While they were living peacefully for the most point, we need to remember those involved. Yoshimura, Koma, and Irimi were all incredibly violent in the past and even accept the raid as their punishment/redemption for their past crimes. Even in fighting to save them, Kaneki has absolutely no interest in taking out CCG's forces. He disarms them or knocks them out, but he tried to avoid conflict with them. I think it is because, again, he is someone that uniquely understands that they are mistaken but acting with good intentions. He knows what it is like to be a human living in fear of Ghouls, and has experienced firsthand being preyed on.

And I actually theorize that V was behind the Anteiku Raid, since just before it Kaiko came to offer Yoshimura one last chance out. They knew it was coming, and Yoshimura's refusal to submit to them is what doomed Anteiku.
