What the OP really should have said was " Criminals are 58 more time likely to be killed by the police than by terrorists" At least then there would have been a shred of truth to the OP and a smidgen of credibility .
Are you saying the life of crime has dangers ??? haha
How else are you suppose to get your marijuana? That is your problem and is not a constitutional issue. It being stupid is simply your opinion, your entitled to have one. Marijuana is illegal to sell, just as health powder made from ground asbestos is illegal to sell, so are black market sales of cigarettes. Neither of those being illegal is unconstitutional and the enforcement of those laws has nothing to do with your body. Seriously you need to get over the importance of your body, as if anyone cares.
I have one question for you, do you believe in the necessity of an FDA? Should we allow any product to be bought and sold regardless of the harm it may cause? Should I be able to open up a line of radioactive health products? They cleans your body and spirit with heavy metals.
Do you even know what the Founding Fathers thought about hemp/marijuana???
Russia is fairly homogeneous (though nowhere close to most European countries), but they also have a crime rate less than half that of the US and a violent crime rate less than a tenth of the US. Where Russia has a crime problem is murder, at over 3x the US murder rate, but murder is an extremely rare crime compared to all other crime and even all other violent crime.
Ethnically diverse and RACIALLY diverse are 2 different things. And this is about Police, not crime.
Whenever an officer of the law kills or maims an unarmed Black male and we protest the injustice of it, people on this forum love to bring up Black on Black crime and tell us to straighten house.
However,more Americans have been killed by other Americans last year alone (16,000) than by terrorists or enemy combatants in 9/11 (3000), the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War (6850) since 2001
So if we can't complain about police brutality, maybe you all should shut up about Terrorism until you stop killing each other.
What is it with the continued bashing of Police Officers?
People who feel powerless and insignificant often disparage those that they perceive to have power when they feel they are safe or anonymous enough to get away with it. It is easier to tear someone else down than it is to better yourself.
In general follow this video and you should be fine in 99% of cases when interacting with a police officer. Use common sense and don't reach for anything on your body without first announcing to the officer what it is you are reaching for. You've seen enough stories on the internet and videos on youtube to know better by now.. common sense people!!
If you were smart you won't go around carrying $10,000+ in cash on you either for any reason. If you're buying a car on Craigslist, go to the bank and get a cashier's check instead. I don't have a ton of sympathy for someone who got $50,000 cash confiscated by the police... what legit reason would a person have for carrying around that much? Again use common sense. Don't carry around on you what you can't afford to lose, whether it be by an armed robber or the police.
If you do all this and still get hassled, you have a legitimate case.

So you'd rather they snipe cops than protest??
The fact that your saying "The People" feel powerless and insignificant is an issue.
Who's paying who? Who's country is it? Do you believe the Police should be above the citizens??
Some of the same ones who complain about government tyranny in the political spectrum have no problem supporting it when it comes to the Police.
Hypocrites.
