Black Lives Matter protesters blocked a road Wednesday to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, bringing holiday travelers to a standstill in their vehicles. Earlier in the day, scores of protesters assembled inside Minneapolis' Mall of America, but police in riot gear and mall security officers dispersed the crowd, pushing them outside the shopping center. Stores on the east side of the mall were closed Wednesday morning in expectation of the protest, two store managers told CNN. Customer traffic was also down Wednesday, they said. Some of the dispersed protesters left the mall and boarded trains to the airport, CNN affiliate WCCO reported.
