Anger is an emotion and does not have a moral quality on its own. If it is at the service of the truth then it is good. If it is merely at the service of pride then it is bad.
Sometimes we need to be angry in order to accomplish a good. Injustice stirs up anger in the virtuous person. We have to be careful though that our anger is not easily provoked. Anger must always be subject to right reason. If it is not then it becomes like a raging animal destroying everything in its path.
