Wafi city robbery
Crimes happen everywhere. They are not exclusive for any country. But the level of crimes and the number of the crimes differ from one country to another. Crimes in U.A.E are few, even if there is much crime the media doesn’t cover it all. The reason for this is because these crimes are normal crimes and not from the big size. Wafi robbery was one of a kind in U.A.E; it might be the first kind of crime that different media channels cover around the world. This happened because this never happened before. In fact, Dubai police is known to be the second best police department in the whole world. In addition, Dubai is well known around the world as a safe country, with a low number of crimes compared to other modern cities and countries. In fact Dubai depends on all the residents for its growth, and considers them as locals. This robbery can hurt Dubai image in many ways. But this is decided by the news channel that broadcast the news and how it explains it. It might be hard, because it’s the first time that this happen. I got shocked when I hared the news, I didn’t believe that this kind of thing might happen in Dubai. If I will broadcast this on a T.V channel I work in, I will deal with it professionally. So I won’t blame anybody for this but the robbers. Because Dubai gave the trust to everybody, and it allowed different people from different countries to come and live here. This is how they paid back. The crime will be covered by other channels, and they will be blaming Dubai police. But why do all people always blame the countries that things happen in it for the first time and forget about the countries that these things happen in it again and again. Of course Dubai police will try to cover this story, but this is their legal right. Some other people might blame Wafi centre security and management, but I’m sure that they shouldn’t be blamed. Because no body expected this to happen, and they are humans who didn’t expect it too.

First of all, I really do not think that Dubai's Police Department is the second best in the world, not because of the robery but it just isn't the best, its not a fact. Anyways, you are right no body should blame the authorities for such an event, but I think some of the blame goes to the security stationed in Wafi center. Their job is to protect not to expect, or else why would there be security outside each shop, I do not think they get paid only to stop shop lifters! Their job goes beyond that.
I don't think you should blame it on security to the point that their job is to protect not to expect. Their job is actually to stop shoplifting and that is it. There has never been a higher crime than shoplifting in a shopping mall here in UAE before so you really cannot expect them to be prepared for this. Plus, two cars drive to the shopping mall, 4 guys run out of them all armed, go to a shop, come out in a minute, and take off. Be reasonable what do you expect from a guy who has never seen a serious robbery before?
Forget about arresting the robbers, my guess is the videos on YouTube, was captured by securities. hehehe
