Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis., said Monday he expects a better night in North Milwaukee following a violent weekend of protests in the city after an unnamed black police officer fatally shot 23-year-old Sylville Smith, an armed black man.

“We’re hoping that things have eased down,” Walker said on Fox News’ “Kelly File” Monday night. “Things got a little bit quieter last night, although there were still disturbances. But our hope is tonight things will finally quiet down, thanks in large part to leadership of many pastors and other church leaders in the Milwaukee community.”
