Wrong, it's smart. You give them what they want now (a reason to riot), and it will be much worse than it is now. Let them protest about nothing and tire them out, then when it's not on anyone's mind announce it.
Waiting this long and letting the pressure build has worked wonders so far. Looks like everyone is just about ready to forget the whole thing.

The police have not handled this well at all. They were also very inconsistent with how they dealt with protestors the first time.

Actually, this is alot calmer than it was in August. Plus the investigators need time and the media attention shifted off of Fergusos for a few months. Hell everybody forgot about Ferguson with ebola, the midterms, immigration, football, world series, etc. This just happens to be a holiday week and nothing else is going on.

And you think announcing it now will make it better? This is nothing compared to what would be unleashed if they announced now. These people are raring to go. People have been bussed in from out of town in anticipation. Announcing now would be the WORST thing they could do. They want an announcement.

I swear some people just fail to think about this strategically. Why in Gods name would you give them what they want? Let it fizzle out.
