Various people on the RWBY crew have said that Ironwood is a good guy who goes about things the wrong way. He has good intentions, but he thinks everything can be solved with violence and force.

As for why Roman was caught on purpose, I think he's supposed to trick Ironwood into doing something stupid, or something like that.

Also, if Ironwood was on their side, the entire conversation he had with Roman in Breach would make absolutely no sense. Ironwood would know that Roman isn't the one behind all that, and Roman wouldn't try to say that he is. Ironwood made it clear that he intends to interrogate Roman ("You'll have plenty of time to talk") and Roman seems very pleased at this, even having an evil laugh at the thought of it. It's reasonable to think that Roman might give Ironwood false or half-true information, or even true information, that will cause Ironwood to do what he usually does - jump the gun and try to destroy the perceived threat. Ironwood shoots first and asks questions later.
