Even White Wolf games didn't do that so much. That was for their smaller Black Dog line.

"Heroic" Garou would slaughter children to fight the Wyrm, many without hesitation. Red Talons pushed for large scale culling, even genocide against humans (the opening fiction of their tribebook includes a scene where a small girl is killed while using the toilet along with residents of the trailer park she lived in and from the stand point of the Garou wasn't really a crime just the potential exposure was) and the race as a whole once killed humans to keep their population in check. This was the mainstream game not Black Dog and there are similar examples.
Angels in the setting of Supernatural are pretty ruthless and don't hesitate to kill possessed humans in the name of righteousness. Plenty of people play the Supernatural setting and enjoy the show regardless.
And then there's the bible were angels, for example, kill numerous children in Egypt at God's command and many think of that as Holy will and thus righteous.
Allot of people either feel that if its Heaven/God's will that its just or enjoy the moral uncertainty or even horror of a Heaven that, from a human perspective is hard to tell from Hell. Its definitely not to everyone's tastes but there are games and fiction that are that dark with a significant fan base.
