The RoboCop Concept May be Inevitable

Is this the future of Detroit law enforcement?

I'm writing this assuming everybody has either seen the movie RoboCop, or at least has a slight understanding of the premise of the movie.  If you have no idea, click here for a summary.  In short, the movie takes place in the future Detroit, where the city is a dilapidated mess and crime has run rampant (sound familiar?).  A private security firm, Omni Consumer Products (OCP), buys the Detroit police department since the government can no longer afford it.  After a failed robotics demonstration, RoboCop is created after the death of a police officer.

So what does this have to do with current day Detroit?  A Time.com article showcases how private security is a growth industry in Detroit, due to cuts to an already depleted police force that the government cannot pay for.  These private security contractors are paid by homeowners associations, and they patrol a specific area looking for anything out of the ordinary and respond to calls from residents.

So how does this lead to RoboCop spitting witty one liners at criminals?
