While reality is stranger than fiction, sometimes the real world takes some things from fiction and tries to make it work. Just like the Star Wars missile defense project, the answer to problems can be found in escapist fiction. This was proved today when the Detroit Police Department announced that they will be starting a program to make RoboCop into a reality.
"Ever since Ferguson, I've been in talks to make our department not only better in keeping the citizens safe but also in public relations. Personally, I think it's all a buncha crap but when the budget is on the line, you need to get creative in order to keep it. One of the interns had apparently watched the film earlier and pitched it as a joke but no one it was satire until we had already got it approved" said Police Chief James Craig.
Craig also discussed the benefits of using a robotic cop and how it would be harder, better, faster and stronger than any resistance it would come up against.
"It all comes down to the numbers. Why pay 10 officers to go out and die in some dingy drug den when we could send one man-tank to clear out the area with maximum fatalities and minimum casualties? It just makes sense especially since actual tanks are too damn bulky and we don't have drone access. Besides, the estimated budget for creating the first prototype is $5.9 million. That's a steal and frees up the budget for us to get other cool things in order to look badass."
"We're trying some different things out so that way we're not COMPLETELY ripping off the movie. First of all, while the force unanimously agreed to keep our robotic rookie as a white guy, he's not going to get shot up like a Mexican pinata. Instead, it'll be a totally safe and non-ethics violating procedure in order to create him. Our man of steel also will comply with our standards of police-following and won't go Batman on us."
Craig remained silent on who the identity of the soon to be Iron Man but rumors began to surface that it could be Detroit native Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem. However, no sufficient evidence has come forth to back these claims up.
Look for the first version to hit the streets sometime in the year 2020 with yearly minimal upgrades afterwards.
