First, Idealized moral theories are built upon exclusion only by reimaging our though processes to account for marginalized groups can we begin to solve real world oppression
Charles W. Mills,  2005, (John Evans Professor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy) ““Ideal Theory” as Ideology” Hypatia vol. 20, no. 3, CJS
Now what distinguishes...the social order. 

And, An accurate epistemology is key - otherwise a framework will be biased, making it self-defeating. A better epistemological standpoint is a pre-requisite to accurate ethical deliberation - the dominant standpoint precludes meaningful discussion of how morality is constructed because it ignores oppression - examining ethical problems from the oppressed is key
Jaggar 83 Alison M. Jaggar, professor of philosophy and women studies at University of Colorado - Boulder, Feminist Politics and Human Nature, Lanham: Rowman and Littlefield.  1983

The standpoint of...the ruling class.

You should privilege everyday violence for two reasons- A) social bias underrepresents its effects B) its effects are exponential, not linear which means even if the only causes a small amount of structural violence, its terminal impacts are huge
Nixon '11 (Rob, Rachel Carson Professor of English, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor, pgs. 2-3)

Three primary concerns...but gradually degraded.

Uniqueness
Treatment by police is unequal and its reflected in trust levels.
Associated Press, 9/1/16, GenForward Poll: Young black adults less trusting of police, Black Youth Project, http://blackyouthproject.com/genforward-poll-young-black-adults-less-trusting-of-police/, 10/31/16, CJS 

Young Americans are ...or by phone.

Lack of police accountability is ruining public trust in police
HAEYOUN PARK and JASMINE C. LEE, September 15, 2016, Looking for Accountability in
Police-Involved Deaths of Blacks, New York Times, http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/07/12/us/looking-for-accountability-in-police-involved-deaths-of-blacks.html?_r=0, 10/30/16, CJS 

It is unusual...of Mr. Brown.

It is empirically verified that police are unaccountable because of qualified immunity

A recent survey...to the inquiry.91 

Structural Violence
Eroded Public-Police Trust is leading to an increase in violence against police
German Lopez Jul 18, 2016, Anti-police violence is a horrific byproduct of a long history of broken trust, VOX, http://www.vox.com/2016/7/18/12210510/anti-police-violence-trust, DOA 10/30/16, CJS  

As worrying as...crime more broadly.

This creates a feedback loop where with an increase in violence against police actively discriminate against minority communities more.
Yale University. "Violence against police officers can trigger increased discrimination in police stops." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 23 September 2016. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160923121056.htm.

A new Yale...trigger discriminatory behavior.

QI Blocks Reforms
Qualified Immunity blocks reform for police violence on a larger social level by stopping cases from going to court
Diana, Hassel, Living a Lie: The Cost of Qualified Immunity, Missouri Law Review Vol 64 Issue 1l, Winter 1999, http://scholarship.law.missouri.edu/mlr/?utm_source=scholarship.law.missouri.edu2Fmlr2Fvol642Fiss12F9andutm_medium=PDFandutm_campaign=PDFCoverPages

The emphasis that...protected and how. 

Solvency
The advocacy is: Qualified Immunity for police officers will be limited in regards to narrowing the definition of “clearly established” by providing explicit guidelines for how qualified immunity out to be applied.
Limiting qualified immunity by narrowing the definition restores trust by stopping cops from walking free and providing explicit instructions in how police will be held accountable
Lindsey De Stefan ,  2017, “No Man Is Above the Law and No Man Is Below It:” How Quali ed Immunity Reform Could Create Accountability and Curb Widespread Police Misconduct, Law School Student Scholarship Seton Hall Law, CJS 

Altering the qualified...further constitutional rights. 

Underview
Legal reform is good although imperfect, it's a way to create change in ideology

Framework: Questions of ontology should be evaluated first.
Dillon 1999 (Dillon, Prof of Politics, University of Lancaster, Moral Spaces, p. 97-98)-mikee

Heirs to all...of decision making.

Ontology precedes ethics—we must know who we are before we can know how we must act, otherwise, our ethical rules repeat the errors of instrumentalism.
Antolick 2 Matthew Anolick; August 20, 2002; Deep Ecology and Heideggerian Phenomenology; MA University of Florida MV 

Traditional ethics, as...the event ontology.

Nuclear power is dangerous and betrays humans, we can’t overcome its power

Heidegger had great...overcome this power”.

Nuclear Power is a form of calculative thought and human mastery over nature, we don’t question our relations with it
Heidegger, 1955 Martin, Discourse on Thinking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Heidegger#Marburg
What is the...capacity for decision.

Nuclear power production, and the drive for infinite energy, relies on a flawed ontological narrative of death. Moving away from the finite accelerates a production/consumption cycle that ends with a loss of humanity and nuclear winter.
Romanyshyn in 1989 (Robert D., Professor at the Pacifica Graduate Institute, Technology as Sympton and Dream, pp. 186-188)-mikee

Not only is...a nuclear winter.
The drive to develop tech without questioning our relationship with it changes the world into standing reserve.
Heidegger 49 Martin Heidegger, “The Question Concerning Technology”, December 1, 1949, http://www.wright.edu/cola/Dept/PHL/Class/P.Internet/PITexts/QCT.html, MV

Technology is a...a factory running.

We propose Ontological prohibition of the nuclear power. It bans the mindset of nuclear power production.

Management is impossible – you can’t control nature and you can’t trust nuclear power. Reject the utopian dream of technological control

Bad ontology is the root cause of environmental catastrophe
McEvoy, 2001 - Senior Lecturer in Systematic Theology at Catholic Theological College, Adelaide College of Divinity, and Flinders University (James, “Situating Humanity: Theological Anthropology in the Context of the Ecological Crisis,” Earth Revealing—Earth Healing: Ecology and Christian Theology, Google Books)
How is it...together lacked credibility.

These static and violent ontologies of the nuke power may seem benign, but each closure denies humanity and makes destruction of the Earth possible. Ontological damnation outweighs nuclear war.
Zimmerman in 1997 Michael, Contesting Earth's Future: Radical Ecology and Postmodernity, Berkeley, Calif. University of California Press, 1997. p.119-120

George Sessions say...as material paradise. 

D) Voting affirmative is a gesture against the need to manage, produce, control, and think calculatively using nuclear power. Only offering space for meditative thinking can challenge technological thought and open up more productive ontological possibilities.
