OMG, I have to agree with Rev. Al. It should have been much sooner or
wait until daylight. It was pretty dumb to wait for people to get
riled up for a while.

I am not entirely sure that the timing was off. I would suggest that
earlier would mean more civilians would be out and about doing work
things, more traffic, etc. More concerns about civilians caught in the
crossfire. Also harder to differentiate the citizens from the rioters.
