I remember that one. The cop was stupid enough to get his gun snatched, and then he was stupid enough to quench the MRI for that!
Here's the docket for the resulting court case. In their response this year the LAPD seem to have summarily denied everything.

Unless something gets stuck. Then it is shut down and restarted after the thing is removed. Takes hours though, I think the startup was four hours.
They had that happen at the hospital my father worked at, the cleaning lady brought in a stool with steel legs. They tried to remove it by force first, but four men could not do it.
The detector spins around the patient, but does the magnetic field spin too? I though not, but I'm not that certain.
all they needed was a magnet of equal or greater strength
MRI magnets are electromagnets that are supercooled with liquid helium and take hours to start or stop because of the electrical energy that has to be put in or taken out.
So just having a magnet of equal strengh for idiot defense would be a very significant waste of electricity and helium unfortunately

Has not happened yet. I keep a copy around in a VM for old games.
Just tun it off then? Why is everyone struggeling with this so much?
It functions like this:
US American importers pay the tariffs to the US American state.
The effect on EU entities is secondary in nature: The US American importers will either buy less from the EU entities and substitute the rest from other countries or they will try to buy the same more cheaply because they can't keep up their previous value chain when the tariffs are included. Thereby demand for products from the EU will fall, hurting EU based exporters and more indirectly everyone up the chain from there.
It will also hurt the US American importers and more indirectly everyone down the chain from there.
Trump ignores the latter effect, and thinks the money raised for the US American state is more significant than it is. He also lies about the first step, but I think he knows how it really is, sometimes he lets it slip that he actually knows how tariffs work.
Parts, sure, but they also still have separate foreign policy apart from trade. As seen in the American War on Afghanistan for example.
What a load of cringe.
And that second to last sentence is just the cherry on top of the pile of shit. Everybody is already severely disappointed.
By the way: Does anyoen know if it's even appropriate to call Von der Leyen "Her Excellency"? It sounds pretty weird to me.
He's gonna abuse his Malaysian maid isn't he?
Even that article fails to mention if and when the magnet was quenched.
