The whole thing seems insulting. Not only does the movie portray Detroit in the worse possible light, but it wasn't even filmed in Detroit. The movie did nothing for the city other than depict it as a violent hell hole. You can say the statue is symbolic of police dedication and justice or whatever eases the white guilt, but in the end its frivolous fanboy porn.
Not only does it take 50,000 grand to construct it, but now with the extra money it will be “as big and good as possible”. The thought of donating this money raised, not to mention extra money, to something that would make a difference.
Brian,
I hope all of my horrible grammar and incomplete sentences made it too.
