In fact, I would demand that my actions were seen and reviewed by others.***

I think that’s reasonable. In fact, that is just what happened. A U.S. Attorney was brought in and found no evidence of unfair prosecution or sentencing.

***That some official from the justice department says the events weren’t related isn’t even remotely convincing to me. It just suggests that there are many people out there who would like to pretend that everything is fine.***

Here’s the catch-22. You expect the public officials to be held accountable. And then when they are you say they are not “even remotely convincing”. Why? Because it does not fit your perceived story line? Can you find a single one of the Jena 6 who said the events were related prior to Sharpton and crew showing up?
