Yes, Damon came to them with a problem, and was told 'no, you are wrong, we are totally fine with this.' Which, reminds me a little bit of Pearl and Katherine being dismissive of the threat - Katherine far more.
Sometimes I am sure that Damon thinks 'if people would just be a little more proactive, I could relax more.'
His job is to protect his pack, that's his THING, he is crazy-loyal, and everyone knows it.
It's not always pretty to their way of thinking, and it's just caused a rift between him and Ric, but it's understandable.
If Elena and Ric had come up with another way to handle Bill - grab him and lock him up again, and SAID so, that might have helped.
But they agreed with the enemy, which made things problematic.
And yes, the guy tortured his own daughter. Because she is not 'who he wants.' WTF.
As somebody who has suffered abuse for that very thing, Damon (as he mentioned to Bill earlier) does not think that Caroline needs fixing, and his sympathies were squarely with Caroline who got fucking tortured.
That is not something that should be tolerated. Not ever.
