+====The idea of moral and immoral first began in prey and predator; in order for the prey to cope with its own weakness, it portrayed itself as "good" and "virtuous" and its predator as "evil" and "disgusting", but this idea of morality only leads to the embracing of weakness and the creation of ressentiment, hatred at life which forms from internalizing ones inability to change the structures which oppose them.==== |

+====Standard normative theories are rooted in this ressentiment, and under the ruse of being "ethical" or "good" we impose personal interpretations of morality on people as a method of universalizing our own hatred at life. This leads to widespread self-denial and acceptance of weakness; controls the internal link to oppression arguments because forcing normative ideas onto individuals regardless of their perspective is the root cause of oppression, so breaking down non-pluralistic forms of ethics comes first.==== |

+====Moral statements are intended to be objective truths but we can never know others objectively, meaning any judgments we make are tainted. Overarching ideas of morality will always fail because internal perceptions of right and wrong will always shift based on moral perspectives. For instance, a poor child on the streets may consider stealing food to be moral because it allows him to feed his dad, but the store owner will feel it is immoral because his goods are being stolen. This means that normative moral statements fail because others experiences are inaccessible to us==== |

Our self-entrapment in forms of slave morality have made it impossible to become self-satisfying subjects, only the rejection of our hatred at life and the embracing of the will to power can defeat the will to nothingness (ressentiment) and bring forth true freedom.==== |

The 1AC is an endorsement of individuals fighting to overcome the structures which prevent them from receiving recourse.==== |

Races and constitutes of power relations are forced into dichotomies of "good" and "bad" as a result of the police always being seen as greater and their victims as lesser, means the 1ACs method of contestation is uniquely key to disrupting normative relations. Courts that function absent individual influence profess police innocence at the cost of victim damnation==== |

+In language, the ego is conceived.156 When one seeks to become real, one must speak, be heard, and be believed by others. The chain of events is, therefore: discourse (conversation with others about criminality) → truth claim ("black people are mostly criminal") → belief by others ("yes, black people do seem to be criminal") → reality of the subject (black people become Criminal and the speaker becomes the mirror opposite, a Law-Abiding Citizen).157 Only when others believe our truth claims can we become real. It is, therefore, imperative that the dominant power structure convince~~s~~ society that its Criminals are indeed criminals and its Law Abiding Citizens are truly law abiding. It can do this in racial profiling by (1) having an ostensibly heartfelt and sensitive debate over the validity of racial profiling; (2) declaring racial profiling to be an acceptable and fact-based answer to crime; (3) engaging in racial profiling, thus exposing a higher number of black criminals than white criminals in a given time period and place; (4) arguing that this exposure proves that blacks commit more crimes and bolsters the need for racial profiling; and (5) repeating the cycle until all blacks are Criminal and all whites are Law Abiding Citizens.158 54 The only way to do this The only way to do this is to split races into "good" and "bad." Racial profiling does this well. In one incident, a group of three black and three white friends were riding their bicycles in Manalapan, New Jersey when the police stopped all six of them.159 The police illegally searched the black kids without justification and called them names such as "little punk" and "baby."160 The officers sent the white kids home, telling them that they "don't have to see this."161 55 Bernard Harcourt's cycle of image creation suggests a similar method of "truth" creation.162 Harcourt's human subject starts with an ideology and then searches for images in the real world to expose that ideology as true.163 These images of, say, a black man's mug shot after the man has allegedly just killed a white police officer (who had a family, no less!), impose themselves on society's consciousness and bolster the ideology. The speech in this case declares: "black predators will kill law-abiding whites." The stronger ideology will be better equipped to find new images, and it will do so. This cycle continues, with every revolution divorcing its adherent more and more from objective reality.164 56 The language of race and racial profiling is an attempt to define Black as Criminal and White as Law Abiding, and thereby provide a window through which to view black criminality and have that ideology reinforced. Physical and verbal abuse of blacks is speech that declares white superiority over black criminality. Court rulings declaring that officers' motives do not matter as long as there is a pretext for the traffic stop is speech that declares the officers to be powerful and morally right and black motorists to be at best suspect, and at worst, criminal. The "perpetrator perspective" that claims to be colorblind, in reality, "races" our society to whites' advantage.165 Blacks are targeted more than whites for criminality, thus they are arrested and convicted more.166 They fill our jails more, but since the criminal justice system is declared to be colorblind, blacks must be more prone to criminality than whites. The Bureau of Justice Statistics illustrates this view well. On its cover, it declares America's non-racism proudly: "9 of white drivers were stopped . . . 9 of black drivers were stopped . . . 9 of Hispanic drivers were stopped."167 Crack the spine, however, and find that blacks are statistically more likely than whites to be searched, arrested, injured by police, have force used on them by police, and be handcuffed.168 Given only one of two options, either the existence of unwarranted racial profiling or the biological propensity of blacks to criminal behavior, the Bureau of Justice Statistics advertises the absence of the former and thereby chooses the latter. |

+====Current groups are fighting to make police more accountable and demand that officers that kill and harm be brought to justice. Their rebellion affirms life in the face of endless suffering and their separation from state reliance to punish police officers in favor of individual action that is potentialized by the ban of qualified immunity is the embodiment of the will to power's demand for overcoming. ==== |

+====The 1ACs method of allowing the public to liberate themselves from inability and engage in legalistic reform sets the path for the breaking of concrete power relations and allows for individuals to express their will to power against that which oppresses them. The collapse of power relations is uniquely key as absent the deconstruction of master, there will always be ressentiment created as a result of the slave moralist's inhibitions. Allowing individuals to sue for themselves grants them the ability to pursue their will to power and fight for compensation==== |
