Sparked by a viral 2011 tweet comparing Detroit’s need for a RoboCop statue to Philadelphia’s Rocky statue, the project grew through massive community collaboration.

Detroit hat endlich seine RoboCop-Statue und „Daily Detroit“ hat einige Fotos und Videos der detailgetreuen, 3,5 Meter hohen und 2,5 Tonnen schweren Nachbildung des ikonischen Metall-Sheriffs der Stadt. Und wer sich nicht mehr an (nicht mehr verf\u00fcgbare) virale Tweets oder Kickstarter-Kampagnen von vor anderthalb Jahrzehnten erinnern kann, dem hilft Wikipedia weiter:

The RoboCop statue is a bronze statue of RoboCop, a fictional cybernetically enhanced Detroit Police Department officer from the 1987 film RoboCop. The idea for the statue originated with a 2011 exchange between Detroit mayor Dave Bing and a pseudonymous user on Twitter. In response to the suggestion that Detroit have a statue of RoboCop to rival Philadelphia’s statue of Rocky, Bing replied that there were no plans to erect such a statue in the city. The exchange went viral and a subsequent Kickstarter campaign raised $67,436 to fund the construction of the statue.
