Less than 24 hours after riots broke out in St. Louis Friday over the acquittal of a white police officer in a 2011 shooting of a black driver, the Wisconsin law enforcement memorial near the Capitol was vandalized opposing the decision.

The words “#Justice4AnthonySmith” were spray painted on the memorial after former white St. Louis police officer Jason Stockley was acquitted for the death of Anthony Smith in a shooting.
