Protests postpone St. Louis parade

ST. LOUIS -- The annual Thanksgiving Day parade in St. Louis has been postponed.

Parade organizers cite community unrest that erupted after a grand jury's decision to not indict Ferguson officer Darren Wilson in Michael Brown's death.

They hope to reschedule before Christmas.

Ferguson has been the site of the most intense protests, with another 45 people arrested Tuesday night. In St. Louis, hundreds of demonstrators disrupted downtown traffic Tuesday for several hours by blocking major intersections, an interstate highway and a Mississippi River bridge connecting the city to Illinois. St. Louis police made 13 protest-related arrests Tuesday.

Another downtown St. Louis protest is planned for Wednesday morning.
