Black business owner in Atlanta says he lost everything in looting

A black business owner in Atlanta who was preparing to reopen his shop after the coronavirus pandemic shuttered it for months said he lost everything when it was looted amid protests over the killing of George Floyd.

"All my money, I had I put into the store," Zola Dias, 38, told ABC News. "And now I don't have a choice: It's over."

He said that no police officers showed up to stop the looting at his shop late Friday night, but 15 cops appeared on Sunday afternoon after receiving a call that it was being vandalized while he was in there cleaning it up with some friends.

"I was traumatized," Dias said. "I was with three black men and 15 police come to us and they're thinking I was trying to vandalize my own store."

If you have business insurance isn’t there a provision for lost though looting?
