can you talk a little bit more about what a city like lewiston might have in place. this is maine's the second largest city. but it is, as frank figliuzzi pointed out, not a large city. it's a city of some 20 to 30,000 people. >> yeah. there is always that potentialities to -- mostly, it would be a larger city if issue issue if it wasn't a smaller city issue -- organizations and support in place and -- they would have the ability to utilize facial recognition to some capacity. so, i am not short to what degree. every state is a little different. but they would likely put that in place as well. >> former seattle police chief carmen best. thank you for helping us understand what is happening right now in this very kinetic situation. let's take a listen again to our nbc portland, maine, affiliate wchs. >> -- at lewiston city hall shortly. but i also want to share -- we are just learning on twitter that boston atf agents are responding to lewiston. so, this is having far reaching effects, not only for the city of lewiston but for agencies all across the state. the local s
