Your grammatically correct sentence is missing punctuation.

Doesn't that sentence stop making sense after the third police?
Police police police as in The police (noun) police (verb) police. As in, the police police themselves.

There should only be 12 instances of 'police' in this sentence or else it doesn't make sense. Or rather, there should be an even number of instances of police.

(The) police police police (the) police.
4 instances of "police". The third is a verb.

(The) police police police police (the) police police.
6 instances of "police". The fourth is a verb.

(The) ${police}_n$ police (the) ${police}_{n-1}$ .
2n instances of police. The n+1th is a verb.

No punctuation is needed.

Would you need punctuation in the sentence "Bison bully other bison"? How about "New Yorker bison bully other New Yorker bison"? Obviously no need for punctuation. And then we extend it to "New Yorker bison New Yorker bison bully also choose to bully New Yorker Bison". Gramatically, that sentence is the same as Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo, and as you see there's no need for punctuation.

everyone does uptalk, same thing with creaky voice. people just notice it with young women because for some reason it became a stereotype of them. it's not going to "become its own dialect" because pretty much everyone already does it.

That's absolute bollocks. Most people in Britain speak almost entirely in the modal voice and reserve the rising intonation for questions.

Interestingly, these kinds of "center-embedded" sentences can be rendered easier to process by manipulating the referential content of the NPs at inner clause boundaries.
>The man the woman the host knew invited left
vs
>The man someone he knew invited left

Same principle applies to some kinds of syntactic "islands."

turning nouns to pronouns doesn't always make it easier to read, and in fact it seemed to make it harder to read here.
it would be better to expand it into
>the woman the host knew invited a man who left

normally you can expand it into multiple sentences, and you still can
>the host knows a woman. the man she invited left. (or "she invited a man who left")
and turning it to a pronoun did help in this case.

Making it "the woman the host knew invited a man who left" gets rid of the center embedding, which is not the goal. The goal is to make the center embedding easier to process. If you're going to get rid of the center embedding you could just make it "the host knows the woman who invited the man who left." And decreasing the referential content of the nouns at the clause boundaries does make it easier to process.
