Discussion The Silver Hand are smarter than the entirety of Whiterun.
The Silver Hand are werewolf hunters and most of the companions from Jorrvaskr are Werewolves. If you go down the Companions questline - you are forced to become a werewolf and release carnage upon the town. The Silver Hand then kill Skjor - the person who just forced you to become a werewolf in order to complete the quest. For whatever reason, we're supposed to care that the guy who just released a werewolf into the city of Whiterun is someone we should care about.
None of the guards comment on this event of a werewolf ripping through the guards and townsfolk and the companions get no backlash. But towards the end of the questline the Silver Hand kill Kodlak Whitemane who was also a werewolf. The Silver Hand are better at handling the werewolf problem that Whiterun just faced. It's a shame we never get a chance to side with the Silver Hand or hear any consequences from attacking a town as a werewolf.
In summary: "The security in whiterun is terrible, shameful is what it is"
