Miscreants and wrongdoers beware, RoboCop is coming to Detroit! Yes, you heard us correctly. A real life RoboCop is coming to the Michigan state capital Tuesday, June 3rd.

What do you take for granted in life? The ability to walk, run and jump? How about a fully-functioning brain, open to the wonders of imaginative and creative thinking? Maybe the power of speech?
