They'll have to compete with holiday plans and football for attention on Thursday, and trying to disrupt Black Friday shoppers is a good way to get trampled and run over.
Have to wonder if they’re not waiting until Wednesday to announce.

I think you are correct.
At it’s heart, Ferguson is battle for public opinion and having a bunch rioters and looters disrupting the nations Thanks Giving Holiday is going to make sure that Americans are totally pissed off the rioters.
I think it’s going to come tomorrow. There’s no school for the kids on Monday and people have time to decide whether or not they want to venture out on Monday if all h*** is breaking loose. If I lived there, I would not want to be heading to and from work or another destination while riots are going on. People need to stay home and protect their homes and families. Remember Reginald Denny.
I don’t think it would be good to announce it any time from next Wed. through Sun. when people have holiday plans to be out and about and businesses are hoping to have high traffic. Too much vulnerability.
Law enforcement cannot continue to be on high alert indefinitely, people cannot continue living their lives on hold, and businesses cannot afford to be boarded up during the most profitable weeks of the year.
They need to get this thing over with - the sooner the better. I vote for tomorrow.
