I could be wrong, but I don't think he's particularly talking about cops. I think he's talking about pigs in general, as in people who are driven by greed and gluttony, and thus are corruptible. I think the first verse is talking about how there are a number of different people from different walks of life in our society, but the pigs always fight their way to the top, simply because their greed makes it easier for them to step on the rest of us. The second verse is describing what eventually happens, that being the rest of the people getting fed up and turning on these particular assholes. The third verse describes the aftermath, thus the large number of "feasting on the pigs" metaphors.
Genius as always. I've never heard someone who can so powerfully evoke an image in your head with a few words.

Well spotted. I would throw in something about it being anti-captialist as well, but that could be a projection :)

Pigs and 39 thieves though, definitely share a theme that speaks to my soul.
