Ever since Paul Verhoeven's 1997 documentary about Alex Murphy, Detroit's most famous police officer, people have sought to erect a memorial to honor the cyborg hero RoboCop. The project has taken over 14 years to reach completion.
The Detroit Metro-Times reports that the 10-foot statue of RoboCop is now in place at 3434 Russell Street. Crowdfunding raised the $60,000 necessary to hire sculptor George Gikas of Venus Bronze Works to construct the durable statue. Now the hero again stands watch over us.
