The ground rules were what happened was not to be discussed, nor apologies asked for/given.
The purpose was to discuss how the black community and the police could build a better relationship. They did that and couldn't agree on a solution, but what it did accomplish is stop the escalation in the press of the original incident. Now the press is scrambling for ancillary stories.
You know when there's a plane crash, then for awhile any little thing that happens, involving a plane becomes a headline story ? This will be the same.
