Detroit Gets Its Robocop Statue!

We did it, America! We got Detroit the Robocop statue they deserve! USA! USA! They made their goal, but the Kickstarter doesn’t close until March 29th, so we can keep donating to make the statue even bigger and better. I’m thinking it should be about the size of the Statue of Liberty. posted on February 16, 2011 at 6:55pm EST

      a robocop statue is offensive on so many levels to native detroiters. I guarantee you that the people who donated money all live somewhere else. Robocop represents the ghetto wasteland stereotype that has plagued Detroit for so long. Those of us who actually live in the city are trying to stay positive, to rebuild the city, and to improve our lives. For someone to put effort, energy and money into building a Robocop statue in our backyard is a slap in the face. for more opinion on how Detroiters feel about this: http://supergaydetroit.blogspot.com/2011/02/10-reasons-robocop-statue-is-bad-idea.html How would you feel if someone tried to erect a statue in your city that exemplified your city’s very worst image?
