If you think Benmage is an insane cop and you're a VT, why would you not be willing to sacrifice yourself to a) save the cop and b) confirm his sanity?
In any case, I actually don't even think Benmage is an insane cop. That was a silly road, and I got mindtricked onto it by Faraday. I think he is a sane cop, and that Lost Butterfly is scum. People keep treating Lost Butterfly as confirmedtown and Benmage as a nutcase. But if you think about it, Lost Butterfly has done absolutely nothing to confirm himself as town. He's just played a good town game, which scum are perfectly capable of (see Mafia MetaMafia). The vision of Lost Butterfly as town is reliant entirely Lost Butterfly being more charismatic than Benmage. But that doesn't matter. Benmage cop makes sense. His guilty makes sense. Occam's razor this giant mess: Lost Butterfly is scum.
Apart from the last bit with Benmage's guilty making sense. (due to interactions afterward) this is an extremely savvy post. That doesn't help me determine his alignment fully but it makes me think he's definitely not mafia, as in he's genuinely trying to work the situation out at least. I have a town read that says he's not cult leader too.
