Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Wait, what? π± Got a news link for this utter imbecile actions?
I had to look it up. Wow.

Nice when they refill the MRI and need to quench it again.
Unless he was using steel case rounds, most ammunition isn't magnetic, it wasn't going to cause issues with the machine.... he's still a fucking idiot though.
An MRI works at 3T to 7T. At that range oxygen is slightly magnetic (Everything is magnetic, just not ferromagnetic). This can cause damage to the machine if it misaligned a critical component.
@IsoSpandy @SupraMario
Minor correction: the word for this is paramagnetic. Paramagnetism happens when a molecule has unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetism happens when a molecule has no unpaired electrons. You're pretty much entirely right, though
The spring in the clip is steel
That's fair, I miss read that, assumed he had dumped a mag full of rounds on the ground, vs a mag with rounds in it.
Thank you for the link. My (already low) faith in humanity just took a nose dive.
At least it looks like it hasn't happened twice?
Yet.
Absolutely gobsmacked at these complete fucking morons
If they were smart, they wouldn't be allowed to be cops...
