But if I had written "police.", I'd be implying the the "." was part of what was originally written, as opposed to ending the sentence with a period after "'police'".

In this case, English grammar is just plain wrong. Poor design. Anything inside '"' marks is part of the string literal. Therefore, punctuation added to the quote should be outside the quotation mark. I see this affliction mainly among programmers, though.

There are few who can. The language is that of Ubisoft, which I will not utter here.

In the common tongue it reads "One DRM to Rule Them All. One DRM to Find Them. One DRM to Bring Them All and To Our Servers Bind Them."
