Demonstrators Block Traffic on Major Highway in Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Demonstrators are stopping traffic on a major highway near downtown Minneapolis.
Some protesters are fast-food workers asking for higher wages and union rights.

Others are protesting a grand jury's decision not to charge a white police officer in the chokehold death of a black man in New York.

KSTP-TV reports the demonstrators are marching northbound on Interstate 35W.

At one point, the demonstrators lay down and climbed on barriers.

Traffic is unable to move while demonstrators block the busy interstate Thursday.
