Why wasn't Wyatt Earp a good guy?

Wyatt Earp is often romanticized as a heroic figure in the Old West, but his actions reveal a more complex character. He was involved in numerous violent confrontations and was known for his willingness to bend or break the law to achieve his goals, including participating in extrajudicial actions like the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Additionally, his relationships with criminal elements and his pursuit of personal vendettas raise ethical questions about his morality and motivations. Thus, while he may have been seen as a lawman, his methods and choices complicate the narrative of him as a "good guy."
