Yes Barry was in the wrong but I think people are mad because Julian commited blackmail, he could've refused to comply with the request but nope he blackmails Barry Barry is a lazy bum, who'd keep doing his job the shitty way if somebody didn't give him a cold shower and made him realize how far away he actually is from his "normal life" now. Look at Joe and Iris trying to be his enablers, while even Barry understood that Julian had a point.

For Julian, Barry asking him to provide false testimony, after already leaning on the law with evidence theft and (as far as he knows) skipping his job at the police department for no reason, was the last straw. Reminding Barry Allen what being on the force is about was needed. Either he's a vigilante, who covers for his own friends also breaking the law. Or he's a CCPD member, who agrees with the just and lawful decision to turn Caitlin over to the courts, where she'd no doubt be sent to prison for assault with injuries, breaking and entering, and attempted murder.

The fact that Julian even GAVE Barry opportunity to cover for Killer Frost already shows that he liked the Care Barre despite all his claims to the contrary. Heck, Julian could sue STAR Labs for money if he provided real testimony. You know I disagree with the negativity in many things, but I have to agree on this. I don't see why people are so mad at Julian. He did what he thought was right, just like Barry.
