I agree that the cop revealing their role is a bad idea. What if before the real cop has a chance to post a Mafia member decides to claim the role, why would we believe/not believe them. They can start feeding us wrong info saying Mafia members are really Townies taking them off the radar and making them falsely trustworthy.
This tactic would allow the real cop one "informed" investigation on the liar and then truthfully know they are Mafia. But what could they do with this info, why would we then believe the the real cop?
Alongside the previous posted risks I think an attempted reveal would completely screw the town. It's better for the cop to stay hidden and then try to steer votes during the day.
