Protesters disrupt Buffalo Mayor Brown's State of the City speech
Dozens of protesters marched Friday outside the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center while Mayor Byron W. Brown gave a speech that was momentarily disrupted by a smaller group protesting inside as well.
Seven protesters were arrested outside the convention center. The protesters inside the building were removed, but not arrested.
About half a dozen protesters stood up and chanted while Brown delivered his speech: "Mayor Brown, can't you see what your cops are doing to me?"
