Tournament: Harvard-Westlake | Round: 2 | Opponent: Sage Hill MJ | Judge: Kathy Bond
The AFF expects us to trust the narrative. Such moves discount evidence and reduce epistemology to the value we are demanded to place in our sympathies with the authority of the person. When “performing evidence” substitutes for evidence, the appearance of legitimacy dooms the pursuit of knowledge and propagates decadence. I’m not saying that the narrative is false but I’m indicting their epistemological viewpoint. While we’re talking, niggas out here dying in the street.

A striking feature...

TURN: Decadence allows the colonization of methods, thinking, and destroys the possibility of a decolonized ethics of the oppressed to overturn.

Tournament: Harvard-Westlake | Round: 3 | Opponent: Brentwood EL | Judge: Connor Riano
“Constitutionally Protected Speech” has historically been used to proliferate racism, as it is not racially neutral. The marginalized are differently effected, making it an unfair playing field and it’s left virtually unchecked. The 1AC’s lack of restriction doesn’t do anything in a world where blacks are always persecuted.

Free Speech is being protected as a veil to disguise deep racial hatred and to avoid discussing issues of race. We say we need to rearticulate the racism that exists on and in colleges and universities.

Tournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 1 | Opponent: Harvard-Westlake CE | Judge: Jonathan Alston
PLAN: The Department of Justice will bring about lawsuits against cities and states in terms of constitutional violations to increase Consent Decrees

Competition (through Net Benefits and Mutual Exclusivity)

Police Disarmament is contrary to the idea of banning handguns. The police is needed to protect society and maintain the monopoly of force by the state. Their solvency author admits they are incompatible.

Consent Decrees would end police malpractice.

Currently about 20 cities have...good cop knows, sometimes force is necessary.

Also solves advantages because police will still have Qualified Immunity, but still get brought to court. Look at the Maatman evidence.

Net Benefits

The DoJ is much stronger than civil suits, it avoids the small court systems and go straight to supreme court. Consent Decree Monitor
Look at litigation:
1) case goes to trial then verdict -OR- 2) settle it. When the DoJ sues the city and police, then instead of trial, they negotiate points in the petition of DoJ. Police Departments settle, thus the agreements results in consent decree. Then, there’s a Consent Decree monitor in place, who keeps track of Reforms initiated (city pays for it)
2) Avoids the Court Clog DA

TURN: Limiting QI creates a “chilling effect” or Fear state. Qualified immunity establishes a good relationship between law and citizens.

The plan solves by eliminating uncertainty about what is a violation of the constitution and also beginning to hear cases challenging immunity ignored by lower courts. (BALKAN agrees to this claim) This is key to increasing accountability and serves as an immediate starting point for future reforms

The advantage is Constitutional Policing, look at the Dominak evidence. Consent Decrees force the police to enforce constitutional policing, look to Body cameras and dashboard cameras. We empower the black voice, embrace the protest

Indemnification of the police. The elimination forces trial, thus police go to court. If AC goes to court, they rarely force police to even pay for their damages, the city has the cost.

The aff has no chance of solvency. Whiteness uses blackness as its inferior opposite this perception occurs primarily in the unconscious and makes all negative material impacts inevitable for the black. The affirmative does not challenge the unconscious criminalization of black bodies by limiting QI, it just acts as a mask by assuming it can change unconscious racism.

Alternative: No concessions—We cannot accept any degree of racism. It makes injustice and violence inevitable. Even if our alternative doesn’t solve you have an ethical obligation to act in the face of racism.

ROB: Vote for the debater that best rejects anti-black advocacies, vote for black nihilism
Because ethics have only included white bodies, a debate space using SQUO ideals of ethics to measure who wins the ballot isn’t good for non-white bodies and the oppressed. This calls for an anti-ethical decision-making paradigm.
