With Liberty and Justice For All
You can't purchase liquor, son. You're underage.
Pardon me, officer. May I see your badge?
Button your lip, son. Or you'll be resisting arrest.
But I'm 21, officer. Better check my ID, I'd suggest.
That's it for you, boy. I'm taking you down to the station.
I demand the right to a lawyer. He'll charge discrimination.
Why, you scum: Here's a knuckle sandwich for you -- KAPOW!
If I were white, you'd never try this -- no way, no how...
