Gas Giveaway: Norfolk police officers shut down $5,000 event after traffic back-up

[@pgmurrin]

If that was free gas for the cops , the line up would have been longer with nobody to intervene.

[@rpereira7735]

Police fill up for free you idiot, and even the pastor and those waiting agreed it was unsafe. If anything it was the pastor and motorists in line that called. Also, to wait hours in line while your car is running just to get a $30 gift card when gas is almost $6? I love what was done but definitely not worth the time nor backing things up all the way to NC (plain and simply ridiculous)

They ought to sue the city for infringement on religion and belief for trying to help people

[@TheRealAb216]

yeah have fun getting laughed out of court

[@rpereira7735]

What an idiot lol

[@3sunsgaming579]

They didn't have to shut down anything, They could have figured out a way to direct traffic to help out the generosity that was being bestowed. I mean their job is funded by the people.

Ironic how much gas u waste while the car runs waiting in that huge line

[@jayp2623]

Not really, they could have been off or idling. Idling cars don't give off as much as driving. Educate yourself lil guy and have a good day.

[@MrNabmilf]

Do the research , idling wastes loads of gas and causes more wear and tear on engine components , thus costing more in the long run ..

[@YourLocalShooter]

@@MrNabmilf Doesn’t cause more then driving, When you drive you put your engine under load, requiring more fuel to power the vehicle forward. Educate yourself bud.

[@MrNabmilf]

Lol I’m not arguing about wasting more gas when driving as opposed to idling, I’m saying it’s a waste to wait in hours long line for a couple bucks of gas . When you are ruining costly engine components

[@wenjcao9557]

I agree with Nabil. Better off given out gas cards than for cars idling and wait to pump the gas. The constant on/off, idle/go for many miles to the gas station will end up benefiting the gas stations/company. Not only that, it puts other drivers in danger and most people that will come, will end up wasting gas and going home with less. Just give it to all the people who comes on bicycles.

[@jayp2623]

Norfolk police looking like Doodle Bob's.

[@rpereira7735]

Yall are really mad about other people being unable to get 2 gallons of free gas? They literally burnt that much sitting there for hours
