Bloomberg speech disrupted by protestors

Dozens of protestors interrupted a speech this afternoon by New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg chanting "This is what democracy looks like!"

As the above video captured, Bloomberg paused, allowed members of his police detail to remove the protestors, then resumed his speech.  When the protesters were removed, Bloomberg said he agreed--that is what democracy looks like. He also said he thought the disturbance was going to last longer.

Bloomberg was speaking at a luncheon at the Grand Hyatt in Manhattan focused on "The Future of New York City" at the time. 

It remains unclear exactly what they were protesting.
