City Does Best “Detroit From Robocop” Impression

By Gerard Oh | Dealer staff writer

Thu, Apr 6, 2006

CINCINNATI - On the heels of the city's 23rd homicide victim of 2006, and the 2nd high-profile suburbanite killing in a week, Mark Mallory addressed crime questions during an impromptu press conference.

"In the 1987 movie RoboCop, in a dystopic & crime ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg with submerged memories haunting him. Now, I thought if the same thing happened here, it would be freakin awesome!" exclaimed Mallory.

"In time, we'll be overrun by a corporate-owned police force and barking ED-209 robots. I for one welcome our new crime-fighting cyborg overlords."
