A Chicago businessman says he's going to sue the city after police
failed to respond when his convenience store was looted for the second
time since May.
Walid Mouhammad's convenience store was
destroyed Monday, when the city experienced widespread looting.
He said
he watched the looters in real time on surveillance cameras as
they ripped out the new steel security door that he'd recently
installed, after spending $300,000 to repair the damage done when his
store was first looted in May.
'I've been open for just 40 days, so who
will be responsible for this?' Mouhammad told ABC 7 Chicago.
He said
that the looting the second time around was worse than before and that
in addition to destroying the store, the looters stole
merchandise and ripped out the ATM.

The police do not have an affirmative duty to protect any one citizen. His suit will go nowhere.
I agree that the police do not have duty to protect or even respond. The failure to respond does lend a positive argument for reducing police funding.
