I agree with Iamjacksego about how this song is not necessarily about cops but more so about greed. How in the first verse he says "The pigs, the pigs, the dregs of what ya'll aim for". Dregs being "a small amount", referring to how the wealthy are the dregs of society that people aspire to become.
He then goes on to say, "Then chew up and consume every cookie crumb and peso...As the bourbon odor smokers cough smolder off the cohiba". Cookie crumb being a metaphor for money as we know peso is a form of money. The other line I believe he paints a mental picture of the generic "Wallstreet fatcat" the man sitting at his desk with bourbon and cohibas. Cohibas being a type of cigar.
Also he says, "No pig in a sacrilege, just bacon for scavengers", I think this means no corporate rich person will donate their money, just toss some change at a street beggar, or a "scavenger". Then "Hopefully the crack in his armor spreads to his avarice", avarice being extreme greed for money or riches. If a crack were in his/her armor like a "piggy bank" leading to the avarice their money would leak out to everyone else.
He also says, "And while I don't know the working details of your tribes I know that that's one ugly fucking tie". I think he is referring to a "tribe" as a company, then last part is pretty self-explanatory.
