"Some people just don't get it," grumbled one message on Twitter. Another wrote: "If I were mayor of Detroit, my top priority would be a Robocop statue."
:lol::lol::lol:

If they had a Robocop statue in Detroit, I'd have a reason to visit there....But to be fair, I've never been there so I don't know what I'm missing. I've been to Jackson though, and that place sucks. (Yes I know they're two totally different cities, that's just the one that I've been to in Michigan.)

It should be Bing's prime directive to build the statue for the people.

to be fair it would be stolen or burnt to the ground in a matter of hours.

Would ya'll be pissed if they decided to erect the statue and when the pull the covers off it ends up being the Robocop from "Be Kind Rewind"?

You pretty much summed up what I was thinking. This needs to happen.

A robocop statue would probably raise tourism.
They should have an ED209 statue too.
Probably would be vandalized the by the same time the next day too.

Detroit didn't run itself to the ground from politicians making sound judgment. But then again, honoring Robocop is like slapping their own police force in the face.

Meh, maybe their police force needs a bettering about the face.

Make Robocop statue happen, Gad damn!

If they put up a Robo Statue, they could have an accompanying Clarence Boddicker statue. Then they could put it at the airport and have a plaque under it that says "Bitches, leave".

On a semi-related note, Duke just signed junior five-star prospect ALEX MURPHY.

And yes, I think Detroit should have a RoboCop statue.

I am kind of let down.....

When I saw the thread, I thought it was about a Robocop Statute...

And that's just what the Motor City needs... A robocop Statute.

If Detroit isn't going to do it, then maybe Dallas should get it, since it was filmed here! :D

Only, if the ED209 talks:

The city will offer 200 tax-foreclosed homes to police officers who will be able to buy them for $1,000 and then get $150,000 in federal grants to rehab them.

So.. they'll let the Rehabs in, but not Robocop?

Someone find a hand cannon and a fucking jetpack. I'm heading up there.. NOW.
