=Necropolitics Aff=

Qualified immunity harms the groups and communities most victimized by police wrongdoing and allows the state to enforce anti-black and anti-other violence to take place without repercussions for police.

Crockford 15

Duncan invokes the qualified immunity doctrine, which holds that police officers cannot be sued
AND
final act of shooting them was accidental and so absolves your prior conduct. 

Biopower is a mechanism that functions through dividing the populace into who must live and who must die

Mbembe 03

Having presented a reading of politics as the work of death, I turn now
AND
of the racist state, the murderous state, and the suicidal state.

Through biopolitics, a state the exercises the right to the life of a population also has the right to take it away. The job of the state then becomes to determine which group is inferior to the the rest of the population and to then create a systematic mechanism for which to get rid of the group as a 'threat' to the superiors. This makes state perpetuated racism inevitable.

Ritzer and Smart 01
Ritzer, George, and Barry Smart. "HANDBOOK OF SOCIAL THEORY." SAGE Publications, 2001. Web. 22 Oct. 2016.
There are, of course, plenty of examples of the exercise of sovereignty in
AND
of putting to death in a society of normalization' (1997b: 228). 

The state not only controls how we live, it controls who lives, who dies, and how we die. The state enforces its power through death therefore biopolitics by itself becomes an insufficient term when describing the state's reign. The state enforces death through necropolitics and the United States has been exercising its longest use of bio/necropolitics ever since the beginning of the slave trade.

Dillon 13 (Stephen Dillon, Doctor of philosophy from the university of Minnesota, "Fugitive Life: Race, Gender, and the Rise of the Neoliberal-Carceral State", May 2013, Pages 68-71)

Whiteness is the rule of law within every notion of civil society. Slavery and segregation is still very present

Farley 05 (Anthony Paul, "Perfecting Slavery" James Campbell Matthews Distinguished Professor of Jurisprudence @ Albany Law School)ghs-VA
Slavery is with us still. We are haunted by slavery. We are animated
AND
.9 Property and law follow the mark. And so it goes. 

Necropolitical violence allows genocidal violence to take place when we classify who is inferior

Steuter and Wills '08 ~Erin and Deborah, Writers at Rowman and Littlefield Publishers Inc., At War With Metaphor: Media, Propaganda, and Racism in the War on Terror, pg. 41 to 45, 2008~

and the role of the ballot is to vote for the debater who is best able to deconstruct dehumanization because if we don't, we are deeming a population not worthy to live because they are the inferior other and we make them less than people and stopping that should outweigh all impacts.

Berube, 1997 - (Berube, David. Professor. English. University of South Carolina. "Nanotechnological Prolongevity: The Down Side." 1997.
Assuming we are able to predict who or what are optimized humans, this entire

U.S. police officers have shot and killed the exact same number of

Qualified immunity indemnifies virtually all officers and the government takes off any burden of the shoulders of police officers by paying for all of their fines. Cross apply the FindLaw evidence, this means that the state permits biopolitical and necropolitical homicides through qualified immunity.

Linguistic Imperialism AC

I affirm the resolution: Public colleges and universities in the United States ought not restrict any constitutionally protected speech with restrict being defined by Oxford Dictionaries as to deprive(someone or something) of freedom of movement or action, constitutional being defined by Merriam-Webster as relating to, inherent in, or affecting the constitution of body or mind, and with speech being defined by Oxford Dictionaries as the expression of or the ability to express thoughts and feelings by articulate sounds.

This means that we ought not place restrictions on people's ability to express their thoughts and how they think

My Value is equality which is necessary to having equal access to education

Contention 1)English is forced upon non-native speakers

English is the gatekeeper to education which makes education inaccessible to non-native speakers

The global spread of the English language can be seen as linked to linguistic imperialism
AND
teaching (ELT) there is a demand for both kinds of resources.

Science proves languages determine how we think and perceive the world and imposing one language upon people effectively tells them how they should think

Even what might be deemed frivolous aspects of language can have far-reaching subconscious
AND
the way we see the world, the way we live our lives.

English colonizes the mind and determines the way we think. The imperialistic way we force English onto non-natives has created a class system which prefers the native speaker.

Mind control The next problem I have discovered in the Hegemony of English is mind

The universal assumption of the dominance of English causes non-natives to overidentify with English and adopt oppressive principles —- results in neocolonial destruction of the self

colonization of a person's mind and the conscious devaluing of her own language.

English dominance creates a 'muted class' and forces those enslaved to English to an inability of expressing ideas and makes it far more difficult to comprehending the ideas of others. When colleges and universities make English necessary to gain an education, this restricts the ability of non-native speakers to be able to articulate themselves

Juggalo Biopolitics Aff

I affirm: Public colleges in the United States ought not restrict any constitutionally protected speech with college being defined by oxford dictionaries as 'An organized group of professional people with particular aims, duties, and privileges'. The FBI is an example of a college because it consists of professional people and their official website reads that their mission is "To protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States."( Federal Bureau of Investigation, nd, "Mission and Priorities," https://www.fbi.gov/about/mission)**

Juggalo's are labeled by the FBI to be a gang organization when in reality most of them are loving people that listen to the positive-messaged songs of Insane Clown Posse. It is harder for them to function within society because their status as a gang prevents them from being hired or accepted into organizations and this infringes upon their constitutionally protected speech because they are punished for the way they express themselves

Duke 14-Alan Duke. "Insane Clown Posse Sues FBI for Labeling 'Juggalo' Fans a Gang." CNN. Cable News Network, 09 Feb. 2014. Web. 17 Jan. 2017. http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/08/showbiz/juggalo-gang-lawsuit/.**

Juggalos are labeled by the FBI to be of the same threat label as violent and dangerous gangs

THE FBI CONSIDERS the fans of shticky rap group Insane Clown Posse to represent a threat on par with the Crips, Bloods, and Aryan Brotherhood, according to its annual report on gang activity.

====People's appearance and cultural identity is sadly often enough for law enforcement to suspect them of doing illegal criminal activity. Falsely labeling a cultural identity as a gang makes law enforcement treat Juggalos with even more caution and this is by definition profiling. We must reject authorities determining who is dangerous based solely on their appearance and cultural identity ====
Lennard 14-Natasha Lennard, 7-8-2014, "The Juggalos Are Right, an FBI 'Gang' Label Does Matter," VICE News, https://news.vice.com/article/the-juggalos-are-right-an-fbi-gang-label-does-matter**
Such profiling de facto demands that members of any such "gang" be treated
AND
a dangerous, unwanted element based on visible markers of cultural identities alone.

====Vaguely determining Juggalos as a threat through combination of profiling and federal discrimination creates a biopolitical notion of who is inferior and a danger to the rest of the population. Vague determinations of threats allow the state the ability to do what is necessary in order to control the perceived threat====
Fournier 08-Philippe Fournier. "Biopolitics, Sovereignty and Ethics." (March 29, 2008): Web.
The notion of state racism is intimately linked with the emergence of a new political

internal threats to the population' (Foucault in Stoler, 1995: 265).

Each individual act of resistance creates a web of revolution necessary to challenge biopolitics

Where there is power, there is resistance, and yet, or rather consequently
AND
way in which the state relies on the institutional integration of power relationships.

The alternative is to not only reject the continuation of these policies, but to do so through the problematizing method Foucault suggested: telling the truth through conversation and debate.

Milchman and Rosenberg 05-, Professor of Political Science at Queens College of the City of New York and Professor of Philosophy at Queens College of the City of New York, 2005 (Alan and Alan, "Michel Foucault: Crises and Problemizations", The Review of Politics, Volume 67, p. 335-336, CPG)
The complex of issues around which these lectures and books revolve is a series of
AND
glosses on the lecture on govermentality, that a more complete theorization emerges. 

The alternative is premised on the rejection of current models of state sovereignty. In order to dispense the harms predicated by a biopolitical regime, we must take rethink and become emancipated from the traditional sovereignty mindset.

And the role of the ballot is to vote for the debater best able to deconstruct institutions of suffering because we must only support institutions that can uphold logical values, anything less is hypocrisy. Signing the ballot aff is an instance of micro level resistance against an oppressive biopolitical state

Put away your PICs – the resolution is a general statement, and we can still affirm even though a tiny sliver of the resolution might not be true.  This is a reasonability standard that's key to effective clash between debaters, instead of "ahah!
