The British philosopher Derek Parfit espoused a severely reductionist view of personal identity in his

to practice being good to others. One of them might be you.

All values collapse into util or tautology

Some people who talk of balancing rights may think there is an algorithm for deciding

Policymaking inevitably entails tradeoffs

Gary Woller ~BYU Prof., "An Overview by Gary Woller", A Forum on the Role of Environmental Ethics, June 1997, pg. 10~
Moreover, virtually all public policies entail some redistribution of economic or political resources,
AND
unreasonableness while failing to adequately address the problem or actually making it worse.   

The value Criterion is maximizing expected well-being.

Utilitarianism inevitable even in deontological frameworks

Deterrence DA

We are on the brink of Nuclear War with Russia

Hallinan'16- Conn Hallinan is a columnist for Foreign Policy in Focus. (Conn Hallinan. "We May Be at a Greater Risk of Nuclear Catastrophe Than During the Cold War" 20 July 2016. 2 September 2016)
The purpose of nukes "is to prevent major war, not to wage wars
AND
that Perry thinks that the chances of some catastrophe is a growing possibility.

Nuclear Weapons Key to Prevent War

Spalding'13- Robert Spalding is a military fellow at the council on Foreign Relations. (Robert Spalding. "Nuclear weapons are at the U.S.'s instruments of peace". 4 October 2013. 2 September 2016.)
The U.S. rebalance — or "pivot" — to the Asia
AND
too menacing. More likely, it is a combination of the two. 

Aff limits the potential expansion of nuke weapons which causes war

Waltz'81- Kenneth Neal Waltz was an American political scientist who worked for both UC Berkley and Columbia. He was one of the most prominent scholars in his field of international relations. (Kenneth Neal Waltz. "The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: More May Better" 1981. 4 September 2016)
Nuclear weapons have been the second force working for peace in the post-war
AND
the measured spread of nuclear weapons is more to be welcomed than feared.

Increased war of any kind causes extinction.

Hagopian'15 – Joachim Hagopian is a West point graduate and former US Army officer. He has written for Global Research. (Joachim Hagopian. "War on Global Scale. The First Manmade Extinction on Planet Earth: The Endgame's 'Final Solution?'. 2015. 4 September 2016)

Phase Out CP

Text: (insert aff actor(person doing the plan)) countries should phase out nuclear power production in stages.

Phasing out nuclear power helps stop the risk of nuclear power, while still allowing alternative energies to be used.

Marecheau'13- Constance Marecheau is a writer for Duel Amical, a news source in Europe. They are dedicated to delivering honest and important news to their readers. (Constance Marecheau. "Should we phase out nuclear power" 15 January 2013. 23 August 2016.)
The catastrophe of Fukushima last April has reopened the debate on the civil nuclear energy
AND
of security measures. That argument cannot be disregarded in times of crisis.

Value: Structural Justice
VC: Justice for systematic Racism

1. Structural Justice means that we focus on helping those who have been given injustice in society
   Malpas’13- Nick Malpas is a postgraduate research student in the department of philosophy at the University of Sydney. (Nick Malpas. “Responsibility for Justice”. 2013. 16 October 2016. JB)

2. Prefer Structural Justice because other forms of justice are given major flaws
Demeterio III’ no date- Feorillo A. Demeterio III is a full professor of the Filipino Department at De La Salle University. (Feorillio A. Demeterio III. “Young’s Theroy of Structural Justice and Collective Responsibility”. No date. 16 October 2016. JB) 

ROB- Vote for the debater who best challenges systematic racism
Reasons to prefer: 

1. Only by focusing on race problems are we able to have a unique discussion in the debate round. Negative does an excellent job of this through the evidence provided below. This is critical to education because we are able to have an honest discussion about the real problems in society.

   History has caused people of color to be forced into a metaphorical slavery causing today’s mindset of the white-black relationship
   Farley 5 Boston College (Anthony, “Perfecting Slavery”, http://lawdigitalcommons.bc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1028andcontext=lsfp)

Lack of discussion about the oppression of people of color causes symbolic structural violence
CRENSHAW, Prof of Speech Comm @ Univ. Ala., 1997
Carrie-PhD. USC; former director of debate @ Univ. of Ala.; WESTERN JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION

African-Americans are inherently targeted in society for no reason which causes structural violence
Wilderson 11 (Frank, Associate Professor, African American Studies Dept., UC Irvine, “The Vengeance of Vertigo: Aphasia and Abjection in the Political Trials of Black Insurgents”, InTensions, Vol 5, http://www.yorku.ca/intent/issue5/articles/frankbwildersoniii.php#footxvii, LK)

African-Americans have been robbed of their proper social status due to the basis of enslavement
Sexton 10 (Jared, Assoc Prof of African American Studies @ UC Irvine, “People of Color Blindness” p. 33-34)

Only an unflinching thought shift can solve the problem. The alt is to reject the aff to promote a greater thought process.
Wilderson, ’10
2010, Frank B. Wilderson is an Associate Professor of African-American Studies at UC Irvine and has a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, “Red, White and Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms,”

Turns/Answers 

Independent of qualified immunity established by the courts, many jurisdictions indemnify officers, making getting any significant settlement from officers difficult

Joann Schwartz, 2014, Police Idemnification, New York University Law Review, June 2014, http://www.nyulawreview.org/sites/default/files/pdf/NYULawReview-89-3-Schwartz.pdf

Idemnification is completely independent of qualified immunity

Richard Thompson, legislative attorney, Congressional Research Service, October 30, 2015, Police Use of Force: Rules, Remedies, and Reforms, https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44256.pdf

Turn -- If QI is eliminated, it will be more difficult for plaintiffs to win claims and there will be even more idemnification

Joann Schwartz, 2014, Police Idemnification, New York University Law Review, June 2014, http://www.nyulawreview.org/sites/default/files/pdf/NYULawReview-89-3-Schwartz.pdf , Joanna Schwartz is a Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law. She teaches Civil Procedure, the Civil Rights Litigation Clinic, and a variety of courses on police accountability and public interest lawyering. In 2015, she received UCLA’s Distinguished Teaching Award. Professor Schwartz is one of the country’s leading experts on police misconduct litigation. Her studies examine the frequency with which police departments gather and analyze information from lawsuits, and the ways in which litigation-attentive departments use lawsuit data to reduce the likelihood of future harms. She has also examined the financial effects of police misconduct litigation, including the frequency with which police officers contribute to settlements and judgments in police misconduct cases, and the extent to which police department budgets are affected by litigation costs. Professor Schwartz has also looked more broadly at how lawsuits influence decision-making in hospitals, airlines, and other organizational settings. Professor Schwartz additionally studies the dynamics of modern civil litigation. Recent scholarship examines the degree to which litigation costs and delays necessitate current civil procedure rules, and compares rhetoric with available evidence about the costs and burdens of class action litigation. She is co-author, with Stephen Yeazell, of a leading casebook, Civil Procedure (9th Edition). Professor Schwartz is a graduate of Brown University and Yale Law School. She was awarded the Francis Wayland Prize for her work in Yale Law School’s Prison Legal Services clinic. After law school, Professor Schwartz clerked for Judge Denise Cote of the Southern District of New York and Judge Harry Pregerson of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. She was then associated with Emery Celli Brinckerhoff and Abady LLP, in New York City, where she specialized in police misconduct, prisoners’ rights, and First Amendment litigation. She was awarded the New York City Legal Aid Society's Pro Bono Publico Award for her work as co-counsel representing a class of inmates challenging conditions at Rikers Island. Immediately prior to her appointment, Professor Schwartz was the Binder Clinical Teaching Fellow at UCLA School of Law.
