2		-====I affirm. First, traditional moral theories are corrupt as they are formed through ideal theories. When we look at ethics in the ideal, we don’t acknowledge the specific circumstances in which oppression occurs – in fact, ideal theories serve to hide real oppression and hinder our progress.====

Rothrock Fellow at Texas AandM University; first Black JV National Debate champion (for UMKC) and was half of the first all Black CEDA team to win the Pi Kappa Delta National Debate Tournament. “The Cost of a Thing: A Kingian Reformulation of a Living Wage Argument in the 21st Century.” 2014.

7		-====Thus my standard is mitigating structural violence. This means looking toward actions that could allow us to solve material conditions of oppression. This means that we should not look to ideals such as morality, the social contract, or Kantian deontology, as those attempt to define our actions within an ideal frame. An ethical theory that simply dismisses good solutions as immoral or against our ideals is faulty because under those, we would never be able to solve problems. We should instead look to a conception of justice that looks comparatively at different solutions.===

14		-====The “clearly established” doctrine and the “reasonableness” standard of qualified immunity creates room for any and all officers to argue that their conduct was acceptable. Under the standard, officers can argue one of two things, a) the right that was violated was not clearly established, meaning that a court case hadn’t ruled on said right or b) not every reasonable officer was aware of that right. This vague interpretation of rights enables police to enjoy immunity no matter how heinous their conduct.====

18		-
19		-====My thesis and advocacy is that the “clearly established” doctrine and the “reasonableness” standard of qualified immunity are faulty and should be replaced with a doctrine of “clear unconstitutionality.” We should limit qualified immunity through this process. Instead of asking whether the right was clearly established and would a reasonable officer have been aware, the court would now simply evaluate whether the officer’s conduct violated the constitution.====

34		-====My argument is very simple, if a survivor of police brutality wants to sue, they should be allowed to sue. That is the fundamental question of this debate. Removing the “clearly established” doctrine is key to prevent racist violence – the insistence on a previous court case bearing near identical circumstance enables police brutality.====
