I don't understand why they would plan to release the video late on a Friday. Makes sense for a white house press release they don't want to draw attention to, but if you are worried about protests that could get violent Friday afternoon seems like the worst possible time.

They are trying to do it after school hours so kids are at home.

There’s really no good time for it. They wanted to wait until charges were filed, let people digest that info and hopefully feel a little confident that the system can work and they’re taking this seriously, but not seem like they’re delaying or hiding anything by waiting until Monday. I get why they’re doing it today, and I hope it’s the best move. We’ll find out soon enough.

I don't think releasing the video on a Tuesday afternoon would be any better.

They need school, kids and workers to be home. It’s gonna be bad.

This. They’ve canceled HS Friday sports events. Business closed down. This is a big friggin deal.

Basically, it sounds like a torture video. It’s over 60 minutes of footage.

If people are scheduled to be at work at 9am Wednesday, they’re less likely to be out protesting (with potential for things to go off the rails) in the wee hours of Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Friday night, people often stay out late because it’s the start of the weekend, the. There’s a whole weekend for protesting and possibilities. I’m hopeful that the way it’s being handled so far will let people feel heard and hopefully everyone stays safe.

The people who work at 9AM on Wednesdays are typically not the people protesting. They're the ones whose lives the protestors are trying to disrupt.

TBH, I only looked at reddit - I don't know what Rs are stoking. Are they saying that the police, who have been fired and charged with murder, are in the wrong? Or something else?

why do they even have to make it public. I mean i know there has to be accountability and transparency - but really do any of us need to see it?

Yes. For accountability and transparency it is important that this footage is made public.

Did you see the video? I can't find it.

TBH, the justice warriors cry wolf all the time with these cases, so it's not like they have any more credibility than the NRA crowd.
