Superb take on the closed-loop feedback mechanism of moral certainty. The part about police correction becoming proof of conspiricy is basically how epistemic closure works in practice. I saw something simliar at a community meeting once where folks refused datasheets showing their traffic concerns were statistically unfounded because "of course the data would say that." The tragedy is this performative outrage actively poisons legit policy critques that might otherwise gain traction.
