Good "taking away the power after it's been used to kill" is really no different from a cop having his gun taken away after he's shot someone innocent .

It's the right thing to do. If the "cosmic force of Good" is incapable of acting before a person abuses the use of its power, only after,, no "hypocrisy" is needed.
But if Good knows the person is innocent, then why do they die at all? The energy is the physical embodiment of goodness. Therefore it shouldn't be capable of physically doing anything that is wrong like harming an innocent. Otherwise it isn't an actual physical embodiment of good. Neutral people being harmed only further proves this.

Meaning Good isn't actually physically good.

Meaning what is Good really?

Thus either devolves into alien morality, or its not actually moral.
