86 -AND
87 -
88 -. It's on our watch and we have to do something about it.
89 -
90 -

92 -====The problem is accountability – Police in America believe that their actions cannot be held accountable, giving them a true sense of "immunity". The root of police brutality is found in the lack of police accountability. HRW:====

100 -
101 -
102 -====Qualified immunity is the tool used by the police state to take away any count of accountability. Immunity has gained the political power to let guilty cops go free. Stefan 2:====
103 -Of course, the most outwardly evident and alarming problem with qualified immunity jurisprudence has been its cumulative erosion of law enforcement accountability. Perhaps Erwin Chemerinsky summarized it best when he noted that "~~i~~n recent years, the court has made it very difficult, and often impossible, to hold police officers and the governments that employ them accountable for civil rights violations."107 Many of the aforementioned procedural and substantive problems with the qualified immunity doctrine have contributed to what might be considered a deleterious byproduct. But recent Court decisions have also demonstrated a willingness to extend immunity in even the most egregious circumstances.
104 -
105 -
106 -
107 -====Plan solves for police accountability – immunity standards for police closes the "precedent" loophole that doesn’t let judges override qualified immunity in the squo. Stefan 3:====
108 -By adopting different immunity standards for high-level and low-level officials, clarifying the vagueness surrounding the definition of a "clearly established" right, and acknowledging the real-world effects of indemnification, the Court can begin to repair some of the substantial flaws in its qualified immunity jurisprudence. As it does, it will permit more constitutional tort suits to succeed, thereby fostering law enforcement accountability. Because criminal liability is nearly impossible as a practical matter, and because strategies like improving police training and recruiting tactics will likely take years to effectively implement, civil suits are the (relatively) fastest way to demonstrate to the country that our officers are our guardians and that they are accountable to us. It is thus the most immediate way to rebuild trust and begin healing the citizenpolice relationship.

45 +
46 +And, since our agency isn’t independent and constantly vulnerable towards the other our subjectivity is in a constant state of apophatic negativity. Inverting supremacy through liberation theology is the only way to account for apophatism.

62 +3. Pessimism/Optimism Paradox: Pessimism creates a lack of motivation since it engrains the idea that nothing can ever get better because oppression is intrinsic to the very structure of recognition. Optimism fails since it ignores how pervasive oppression is to our structure. Only liberation theology allows us to both say we don’t fit into the world and yet not fall into mere skepticism.

92 +
93 +Liberation theology is intent based:
94 +1.
95 +2.
96 +3.
97 +4.
98 +
99 +First, extracting natural resources is part of a western spirituality that has created an ethical dualism between the environment and its subjects. This treats the environment as instrumentally valuable and propagates an epistemology based on human superiority, which is counter productive to humility in the cross.

102 +
103 +“Some feel they need to move beyond Christianity: theologian Chung Hyun Kyung writes
104 +AND
105 +because those were his concerns, too.” (11-13)
106 +
107 +Second, preeminence in nuclear power is part of a larger race towards a hegemonic framework that aims to influence global policy through power and imperial suppression. This is counter productive to a liberation theology.

110 +
111 +“The lasting effects of the slavocracy were that the
112 +AND
113 +found within both the biblical text and through the jivanmukta.”
114 +
115 +Third, nuclear power is a modern Tower of Babel— it’s an attempt to defy the laws of the transcendent through the modification and domination of the environment carried with the belief of superiority over one’s right to do so.

84 +Police brutality in America is getting worse—not better. That's not pessimism.

87 +
88 +. It's on our watch and we have to do something about it.
89 +
90 +
91 +

94 +Police brutality is one of the most serious, enduring, and divisive human rights

99 +
100 +
101 +
102 +====Qualified immunity is the tool used by the police state to take away any count of accountability. Immunity has gained the political power to let guilty cops go free. Stefan 2:====
103 +Of course, the most outwardly evident and alarming problem with qualified immunity jurisprudence has been its cumulative erosion of law enforcement accountability. Perhaps Erwin Chemerinsky summarized it best when he noted that "~~i~~n recent years, the court has made it very difficult, and often impossible, to hold police officers and the governments that employ them accountable for civil rights violations."107 Many of the aforementioned procedural and substantive problems with the qualified immunity doctrine have contributed to what might be considered a deleterious byproduct. But recent Court decisions have also demonstrated a willingness to extend immunity in even the most egregious circumstances.
104 +
105 +
106 +
107 +====Plan solves for police accountability – immunity standards for police closes the "precedent" loophole that doesn’t let judges override qualified immunity in the squo. Stefan 3:====
108 +By adopting different immunity standards for high-level and low-level officials, clarifying the vagueness surrounding the definition of a "clearly established" right, and acknowledging the real-world effects of indemnification, the Court can begin to repair some of the substantial flaws in its qualified immunity jurisprudence. As it does, it will permit more constitutional tort suits to succeed, thereby fostering law enforcement accountability. Because criminal liability is nearly impossible as a practical matter, and because strategies like improving police training and recruiting tactics will likely take years to effectively implement, civil suits are the (relatively) fastest way to demonstrate to the country that our officers are our guardians and that they are accountable to us. It is thus the most immediate way to rebuild trust and begin healing the citizenpolice relationship.

46 +Next, the will of the sovereign is determined through the constitution. Theww warrants-
47 +First, the constitution is the will of the sovereign. In an economy of violence, they defined meaning and created the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. This means that the Constitution is the ultimate authority and applies whether you like it or not.
48 +The Constitution as ratified William Jackson (Secretary), signed by John Dickinson, Gouverneur Morris, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Thomas Paine, Edmund Randolph, James Madison, Roger Sherman, James Wilson, and George Wythe (Founding Fathers). Constitution. 1787
49 +This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same.
50 +Second, any public institution is uniquely constrained by the obligations of the Constitution- it asserts the meaning of morality according to the sovereign.
