    Before Daemon was in charge, being a member of the city watch was seen as as bad as joining the Night's Watch, but with worse weapons and army. Daemon gave them pride, armed them like soldiers, and gave them their own uniforms. Even Daemon's detractors claim he's probably the best Lord Commander they ever had.

      Taking the black and joining the wall was a respectable honor amongst 2nd sons. The 1st son was the heir and held the highest of honor amongst their house. The 2nd son was just as honorable and would show it buy protecting the people of Westeros. It’s why Jon Snow chose the black.

He wasbto rule the realm until his son became and could take the throne, which was still years away. The King/King's Regent nominates and selects the Commander of the City Watch. A placeholder of sorts, or ,more accurately, a representation of the King's will and desires, acting on the King's commands while holding the everyday task of maintaining peace in the city.
      Littlefinger and the City Watch were all aware of the letter from the king, the king's desire for Ned to take the throne, and the fact that turning on Ned was synonymous with treason to crown and king. If they had any doubt, when Barristan Selmy announced the letter was amidst the King's letterhead, in the King's hand, and completed with the King's seal. Coming from Barristan Selmy, the greatest sword for generations, the Lord Commander of the King's Guard, and known to be one of the most noble and honest men in the Seven Kingdoms, this fact is beyond reproach.
      The Gold Cloaks were treasonous, backstabbing, treacherous traitors.

      to be fair to Otto, Daemon was a force of chaos who used his status like a club. Even if it was for political reasons and for selfish reasons ,Otto sending him away to the Vale and then the Watch kept him away from his impressionable brother Viserys and out of trouble. Daemon could have been the first Daemon Blackfyre (who is named after him) despite his protestations of loyalty. He also sired two sons to Viserys' three so a parallel branch of the line would have been a threat to Otto's ambitions.

      Daemon's actions are far from heroic at times, though his valor in combat is not to be questioned. He was also an excellent commander of the Goldcloaks, despite the rise in executions and amputations under his watch.
      Daemon is an agent of chaos , hence his name Rogue Prince. He loves his family but cannot settle, even with Rhaeneyra ,and has several affairs. If Viserys had no sign of the madness of the Targaryens Daemon was lurching that way. Rhaeneyra ,without Daemon becomes a ruler without a conscience or good advice and ultimately creates chaos herself by inaction.

    Daemon is actually a real bleeding heart and the way he interacted with the gold cloaks is one great example.

      the Reach have both the strongest single army of knights and men at arms , a navy to rival the royal fleet and the wealth to provide for them. It would be folly to ignore them.
      it's worth noting that several Reach houses actually sided against the greens, including House Tarly and House Beesbury, while House Peake kept on sponsoring rebellions well into Maekar's reign (three generations after HoTD).

      the goldcloaks are supposed to be the law enforcement of King's Landing and obeying only the king and his Master of Laws. It always depends on who the ruler is, and who their Hand is. Tyrion led them in the defense of King's Landing during Blackwater and by all accounts they did well. Janos Slynt however allowed them to rot from the inside due to his own corruption.
