RoboCop Statue 'Definitely' Coming to Detroit

Everyone's favorite badge-toting manmachine will absolutely be memorialized in bronze, somewhere in the city.

Not to over-analyze it, but there is something sad about Detroit getting a RoboCop statue.

Read this plot description from the X-rated Jesus flick's Wikipedia page: "In the near future, Detroit, Michigan is on the verge of collapse due to financial ruin and unchecked crime." Though the movie was filmed in 1987, doesn't that sound like a strikingly accurate statement of where the city's at today? The citizens of Detroit love their silvery sheriff, sure. But on some level, is this statue a cry for help for an effective police agency to step in?
