Omar was upset with how they tortured and mitigated Brandon and left him on display.
The entire Omar character was created as a device to walk both sides of the line, and show two sides of the coin.
People think Omar followed the street code, but he didn’t. He followed his own code. His own code allowed him to feel more honorable (and appear more honorable to us viewers) than his peers in the game.
His own code allowed him to justify robbing or killing, as long as it wasn’t on bystanders. It allowed him to cooperate with the police to enact personal revenge. Etc.
Omar was his own entity, and didn’t bind himself to the rules of the game. It also ties in with the Greek mythology aspects of the show. He was bigger than the street, despite working in it.

His own. He’s a lot like Mike in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. They have their own moral code that they follow strictly, and it allows them to be “better” than their criminal peers. I was a philosophy major, and we could’ve had an entire section on whether or not their codes really did that for them or not, but they clearly believed it did.
These videos are both pretty good.

He followed his own code, hence why they made him openly gay....
