Here we are on Day 2 with nothing but circumstantial evidence. Well, here's some more: Who could be confident of having something to go on at the start of Day 2? Only the cop. Even with a failed investigation, the cop would know there was someone trustworthy.

Now, put yourself in the position of the mafia. Imagine that you and you alone have to make decisions for the mafia. Who would you have killed? What did Laguna do or say that would make him look dangerous to the mafia? smurf all. No, if I were making decisions for the mafia, I'd go after the one person who's given any indication, however subtle, that he may be the cop.

No hit was placed on Cid.

So, it is safe to say that Cid is not the cop. What purpose would a townie have in trying to plant a red herring? To get killed in round 1? I think not. However, a Mafioso could easily try to plant the "I'm a cop" notion in the heads of the townies, knowing that he is safe from being taken out by the Mafia.

I'm not very comfortable with this line of reasoning. Are you saying that Cid claimed cop by saying "I'll be back later to see if I can pick up on anything."? Then him not dying last night makes him scum because the Mafia would have picked up on this small hint and shot him for it?
I don't buy it.

When reading through it all, I thought that the mafia would have shot Laguna for being a vocal, reasonable townie. IMO killing a good player like Del (who knows, maybe they guessed it was him, some people are good at that), would be more beneficial to the mafia than a weak hint of being a cop.

I don't find this evidence to be very substantial at all, both your call that this was a role claim, and that it certainly makes him not a cop, and therefore scummy.

It all makes me uncomfortable. Care to elaborate?
