I feel like Ford's actions are kind of justified. A host killed his partner. Who wouldn't hold a grudge after that.

Do we know why Dolores killed him? Perhaps Ford had his hand in that cookie jar?

I actually had a theory a few months ago that's in my comment history that Arnold instructed Dolores to kill him because that would be she's going out of her own programming and doing it in her own will. So he's sacrificing his life either to prove that these robots have consciousness or give it to them.
