I dont understand the Police opening fire on robocop


He hadn’t done anything wrong to justify that.

The police seemed like good people who weren’t mercanaries. They weren’t too comfortable with OCP. They were the types who believed in striking.

They were ordered to by Dick Jones, keep in mind OCP pretty much owns the cops and several of the cops did protest but Hedgecock ordered them to fire.

Then striking shows that they aren't mercenaries.

how?

Also remember they were told by OCP that Robocop was a machine. So most treated it like an out of control automobile that had to be stopped.A few like Lewis had started to realize that he was something else.
