This is why it is important for the press release to occur when officials are prepared for the press release and the aftermath.

They had to prepare for the public's response. There are pros and cons to releasing the information in the afternoon and there are pros and cons to waiting until the evening. Releasing in the afternoon gives people a longer time to protest and that includes interrupting the people who had to go to work today/living their life as normal. It is best to release in the evening once there has been preparation and potential protestors and rioters are in a more central location.
I hope any idiot who kills police officers will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Overall, I hope for peaceful protests. Violent and destructive protests aren't going to harm anyone but the people in these predominantly Black communities.
