Always heard it came from the curfew that was in place at 12 midnight for young dudes in the city. Instead of saying “cops coming” they said “12 coming”. Don’t know how true that is but I started down here

When you get locked up and go to trial it's 12 jurors that decide your fate whether you're guilty or not guilty.

I'll rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

L.A came up with 1 time.
