Every last Goddamned one of them.
The ones that aren't doing the acts themselves are covering for the ones that are, which makes them equally guilty.

Back in the late 60's I had a couple of good friends on the Chicago PD. One was a vice and narcotics guy, the other a uniform on some special detail. Met them in the Marine Corps. Our time in the Corps together probably made them more open with me than they might have been if we had just been social acquaintances or something like that.
Anyway one day the detective guy started talking about what it was like being a cop. And at one point he admitted that after a while working in the CPD it gets pretty hard not to end up changed regarding relationships with anybody who isn't a cop. I remember him specifically saying something like, "Well sure, when you're on the job long enough, it gets to the point where we're the cops and the rest of you are pretty much fucked up non-cops."
