The advantage is Military Urbanism
We begin the 1ac with a story of terror— In an effort to fulfill modernity's foundational conquest, the marketized control of life itself, military doctrine invades the cityscape. Discplinary mechanisms are now the hallmark of civil society, blurring the ethical calculus of all by integrating into urban structures

Policing is unique, — as the disciplinarians of the urban cityscape, they utilize overarching claims of terror to blur the line between military violence and peacekeeping, legitimating the use of violence as a form of neocolonization

Indeterminacy is our internal link—The lynchpin of the polices power comes from qualified immunity-it absolves the sovereign from accountability in unknowability as a tactic to curb citizen agency

Of course, the most outwardly evident and alarming problem with qualified immunity jurisprudence has

no means 'clearly establish' that Brosseau's conduct violated the Fourth Amendment."1
The advent of these structures represents the cessation of our moral agency to the state—complacency in these mechanisms means that structures within the law like qualified immunity serve to diffuse conflict between citizens and the state- trapping us into a neverending cycle of endorsing violent subjectivities

AND
can develop into an obstacle to the very aims it professes to accomplish.
The impact is endless warfare—-the security state has resulted in a new politics of military urbanism that extends warfare into the battlespace, with no beginning or end, and where everyone is a target.

The first key feature of the new military urbanism is the way it normalizes
AND
advance of civil or criminal offences being proven (see Amoore, 2009).
And this doctrine calls for the end of the public sphere – the collapse of citizen agency necessitates violent forms of moral conceptions demanding the extermination of the other

Plan Text
Thus the plan text: The USFG should Remove the "clearly established" standard, which holds that police officers are entitled to qualified immunity as long as the law they broke was not clearly established

Solvency
Solves indeterminacy—Eliminating the standard removes the cloak that veils police brutality, providing a solid ground for civil rights legislation confronts the heart of police avoiding the problems and is key to creating change

The emphasis that qualified immunity places on the reasonableness of the defendant's actions rather than
AND
us peace, but it keeps from us the tools required for reform.
Also solves issues of brutal policing, forces the government to train and select better

A body of official immunity law could easily be founded on the enduring,
AND
cost-avoiding measures, such as improved training and personnel selection.518
Framing
Rather than attempting to eliminate use of the law, you should adopt a politics of playing with the law —- switch it from sacred to toy —- in the context of this debate round that means using hypothetical implementation to deactivate the law—we control the internal link to every epistemology since the debate comes down to resisting the violence of the soverign
