Detroit has unveiled a new 10-foot-tall RoboCop statue, and in a rare twist of fate, it isn’t terrible. The bronze statue has been over ten years in the making. According to Daily Detroit, it was inspired by a viral 2011 tweet that argued if Philadelphia has a Rocky statue, then Detroit deserves a RoboCop one.

And the community thought that was a great idea.

RoboCop will not guard the streets of Detroit, not just in the movies, but in the real world, too.
