There is a difference between loving your child and believing that they should not be held accountable when you know they have committed a crime. Just because you love someone does not mean you should think that they should be able to commit a crime and get away with it...
This truth goes double for those parents that help uphold the law... Justice is blind and should not carry on any bias... To give someone special treatment just because they are family is a form of power abuse... it's disrespectful to every law abiding citizen, and everyone your relative might have wronged; you are essentially saying "my children are above the law". You are holding a double standard... How can Garp be fine with the imprisonment and execution of any other pirate when he would fight to free another who is guilty of the same crimes? How could he call himself an officer of justice and law?
Frankly, if you are gonna absolve your child of a crime then you should also be able to absolve ALL criminals who have committed the same crime... atleast then you can argue that you are not giving your child special treatment, but truly believe that the law itself was unjust...
That's why this situation has become difficult for Garp... Garp was able to see that killing someone based upon their blood alone is unjust; unborn children carry no sin as roger put it... Garp protected Ace, then he protected Luffy, and by golly he'd probably protect any such person even if he had not come to know them and get attached to them... But Ace became a pirate... The same kind of criminal that Garp hunted down down and punished for decades; Garp has integrity and as such, he can not hold that double standard

Plus Ace had it bad it was either die or become a marine . I sure if WG found out where he was before becoming a pirate they would have kill him. Ace was fuck from birth no matter what he did other than becoming a marine and even then if Sengoku wanted him dead there was nothing grap could have done to stop it.

Yes that's what the WG would have done to Ace but that's IF they ever found out... And that's exactly what Garp wanted to avoid and tried hard to do... If Ace had lead a normal life he would have never drawn on the attention of the WG... If Ace had become a Marine, the great strength that he inherited from Roger would have made him into a marine Hero; which would have also allowed him to keep the WG from finding out the truth as they would never expect Roger's blood to enlist in the marines.
Ace had it rough, he was cursed from birth, but Garp gave him a chance... He gave Ace a shot to live a life free from his father's legacy, free of paying for his father's crimes... but Ace threw that chance away
it's a little funny actually... Ace has kinda proved the marines RIGHT in fearing him from birth and proved Garp wrong...
I mean, Garp did what he could to put Ace on the path of the marine (opposite of a pirate), and Ace himself HATED his father(who was the greatest pirate)... but what happened? Not only did Ace become a pirate, but he ended up under Whitebeard who was grooming him to become the next pirate king... Despite the steps taken to prevent Ace from following in his father's footsteps, Ace wound up on that path anyway.

The way i see it, there are two kinds of "Justice"... Absolute justice, and Personal Justice...
Absolute Justice is defined by law which is defined by your local gov't... this however, can not always be truly be called justice as the gov't is more than capable of being unjust
Personal Justice however is what you make of it... however, if you are willing to convict one man of a crime, but willing to absolve a friend/family who committed the SAME crime, then you are definitely NOT caring about your own sense of Justice; your actions fly in the face of justice.
Though they are different absolute Justice and personal justice have at least one thing in common and that they are blind... All those who commit a crime, are treated equally... to do otherwise is to disrespect everyone who obeys justice and all those who were convicted of it
