Summary
This quote speaks to the paradoxical nature of seeking and upholding truths within society. It suggests that the process of discovering and asserting truths often involves challenging the established norms and institutions, represented here by the police. The initial conflict indicates the resistance encountered when challenging authority or societal beliefs. However, it also highlights the eventual recognition and acceptance of these truths, as they are ultimately embraced and adopted by those very authorities, symbolized by the need to "call them in."
