...have their six.
***
What does that mean?
I think that it means to have their backs. Standing behind them.
Isn’t this what ISIS told U.S. muslims to do: Kill cops and military? Black muslims are following the orders of ISIS.
Po old black man hassled by cops just because he used armed robbery, armed criminal action and multiple uses of weapons.
Very good. From the context, I realized what you meant, but my search for the phrase was unsuccessful.
Thanks. I love learning new words and expressions.
Having someone’s six, or watching someone’s six, is an old military term that means “I’ve got your back,” or “I’m covering your rear.”
It comes from the hands on a clock, which resemble the points on a compass. In aviation “six” corresponds to the “six o’clock” position (on a compass that would be 180 degrees), which is directly behind the aircraft (and “six- o’clock high” means behind and above the aircraft; the movie “Twelve O’clock High” referred to enemy being directly in front and above the aircraft).
St. Louis and surrounding areas police ought to go the way the NYPD has gone....
Okay,thanks for the info.
“”the officer needs to go back to school on how to handle himself in such situations because YOU DON’T LEAVE YOUR WEAPON!””
That’s what it looked like all right. I had read or heard last night that the cop fell backward after he fired his gun but the only video we were given at the time didn’t show that. Glad this video put that in perspective but why on earth did the cop fall backward after firing his own weapon? I’ve heard of and experienced guns having kicks but nothing like that and I’m a female.
I don’t understand the report that the two had just robbed a store either. The same two who just strolled up to the police car as tho’ they didn’t have a care in the world??
I agree the bums are pretty stupid these days but THAT STUPID?

Nah, TYR, That robbery be part of the ambush plan. If the dead perp's gun had functioned as he had intended, would be the cop in the morgue.
