A living goon is always better than a dead one. No matter who he ousts. Preserving your life is always the first priority when playing scum or cult. Think about it, the cop is going to have to come forward eventually if he finds one of your members. At that point you will be sacrificing one goon but at the same time finding the cop. Why rush it? Better to save your skin now, and wait for the cop to investigate you himself. This wastes a cop investigation while still achieving the same end.

Proof of accuracy.

Well, Naxus was at L-1. He was forced to claim. He had to fakeclaim a pro-town role. He had big chances of a real townie counterclaiming and getting him lynched anyway. Agree with me so far?
Why not reveal the cop, then?
Makes sense in my head.
See my response to Commander. Plus, commander is right. With two scummies down already (one of which being the godfather) they aren't going to be sacrificing themselves very easily. Unless he is a mafia cop (unlikely but not unheard of) then there is no other way that this claim could help him.
