The 1AC's understanding of police reproduces the colonial rubric of humanity. Qualified immunity attempts to hold individual officers accountable, naturalizing the systemic violence of colonialism. This eradicates explanatory potential for how policing, imprisonment, and genocide are intertwined under coloniality – kills solvency.

obligation dissipates and the formation of a violent and militant police force begins.

Political tinkering and state reform locks in genocide committed by the white supremist state. The mystified permanence of domestic warfar is hidden behind reformist policies and justified by the left's continued tolerance of dehumanization of black, brown, and aboriginal bodies. Structures of coloniality present us with unending genocide.

The alternative is epistemic disobedience.

The 1NC enactment of epistemic disobedience ruptures coloniality by challenging the rhetoric of modernity and providing a counter-energy to combat it – we are a necessary criticism of hegemonic structures of knowledge that maintain the liberal promises of reform. We open up the possibility to build knowledge that supersedes Western ideology by creating cracks in academic spaces - spatial paradigmatic breaks of epistemic disobedience.

Colonial violence is normalized in educational spaces like debate – it dictates which forms of knowledge and discourses are acceptable.

And debate is uniquely key to enact spaces that severe western epistemologies. We must change the content and the terms of the conversation by epistemically and linguistically rupturing colonial formations.

Grievability for the colonial subject is damning – it justifies paternalistic saving of the uncivilized savage. Empathy within colonial frameworks is weaponized to mobilize white populations/colonial subjects against the colonized.

The affirmative solvency operates on a fiction of universal citizenship and humanity structured through colonial paradigms. The construction of the prototype human subject necessitates exploitation against the periphery. Juridical attempts to manage who is and is not protected by the government becomes weaponized to fuel white supremacist state. Changing law is pointless unless we change the ideology behind them.
