Does anyone question the timing of the grand jury reading its findings? Knowing that most riots are more destructive after dark why not wait till 10am the next morning to read it? Seems to me a logical approach to counteract and limit the destructiveness of a mob when they can be identified easily in broad daylight.
IMO the media is mostly to blame. Much more important things are happening that need media focus. When did the media shift from fact checking to sensationalism you may ask? When Jerry springer and Geraldo made money by televising social "drama".
Just my point of view.
I would think that they waited till late so that most people would be off the streets and businesses would be closed.Does anyone question the timing of the grand jury reading its findings?

As someone else suggested earlier in the week, should've announced at 6-7am the next morning. Thugs won't be up that early.I would think that they waited till late so that most people would be off the streets and businesses would be closed.
