Four teenagers are in custody after they spray-painted graffiti on a memorial near Soldier Field honoring slain Chicago police officers and their families, authorities said.
Police arrested three 17-year-olds -- two females and one male -- and a 15-year-old boy, said Chicago News Affairs Officer Michael Fitzpatrick.The teens were arrested at about 3:05 a.m. after police on routine patrol saw them running from the Gold Star Families Memorial and Park, Fitzpatrick said.
The teens used red spray paint to write words on the north end of the memorial in the 1400 block of South Museum Campus Drive, just east of Soldier Field on Chicago Park District land, police said. The tagging was neither gang-related nor anti-police, Fitzpatrick said.
A wall in a nearby tunnel had also been spray-painted by the teens, Fitzpatrick said.

Am so sick of seeing graffiti on Chicago walls. We have such a beautiful city and these scum bags ruin it by making it look like s@#t.
You're right, I would rather see plain, grey walls everywhere I look.
