Detroit to pay tribute to Robocop with bronze statue

A 10-foot tall bronze statue of the science fiction crime-fighting cyborg RoboCop is to be erected in Detroit.

The 1980s science fiction movie was set in a futuristic and crime-ridden Detroit and a movement for a RoboCop statue started in 2011 after a social networking campaign took off in support of the project, quickly raising money to make it happen.
