The tapestry represents helplessness.
Repeatedly during the game references are made to how uncomfortable the tapestry makes people and it's hidden meaning only Wells, Jack, and Lily could understand. The tapestry shows a disheveled, bearded figure suspiciously similar looking to Jack fleeing through dark woods as horned figures watch from afar. To Wells, it likely represented the helpless people he felt it was his duty to defend as a policemen. Lily understood the meaning because as an Extreme Doormat that no one took seriously. Jack understood it because he knew all too well what it meant to be powerless and hunted by the shadows of the past.Additionally, the way the depiction of the tapestry changes on the title screen represents the changing dynamics of power. Initially, Jack and Lily are looking at the tapestry together, representing their shared unease with each other and their status as relative equals in their partnership. As Jack eases into his role as sheriff and department becomes increasingly loyal to him, Lily is left in helplessness alone. Then the tapestry is depicted without anyone as Lily and Jack's relationship becomes more strained, culminating in her partnership with Henderson and attempt on his life. Lily has taken steps away from helplessness in an effort to assert her own agency. Finally, when Jack is triumphant and is the last man standing, the tapestry is burned. This signifies both that Jack is no longer the person he was as well as the fact he finally in control of his life again as Sheriff Nash. The Caesar references are Foreshadowing the assassination of Jack Boyd in the sequel.
Considering all the references to Caesar, This Is The Police 3 could be about the assassination of 'Caesar': Jack Boyd is betrayed by Palmer, his 'Brutus', or someone else whom he never thought would have the guts or smarts to take him down. It could even be the new player character: After Jack has become completely ruthless, it's now up to you, who has seen Jack's complete journey, to end his story once and for all.- Jack is still alive as of Rebel Cops set in 1994. It's apparently possible to bring him in, but nobody has earned the achievement for it yet.
- Jossed; Jack defeats the Rebel Cops by betraying them first, adding their turf to his empire.
The Forest Spirits are real.
And the sequel would take on a more supernatural route, like Twin Peaks or the X-Files. You're still doing police work, but things get weirder.- Not in Rebel Cops, but still possible.
