Here, Bryon explains the origin of his aversion to following rules. Even though broke the law by getting drunk at 13, the punishment was doled out harshly and unjustly, as the police were following neither morality nor the law in beating him up. It makes sense, then, that this experience led Bryon to be disillusioned with rules, as even those who ostensibly uphold those laws deviate from them. Yet in hating the police, Bryon again focuses on the consequences of his actions on himself rather than understanding how being drunk in the street could have affected others.
