Do you have any idea how much it costs to fund a military?

a privatized police system doesn't need to rely on donations from rich people to function properly. do you honestly think that if the government stopped paying for police services, everyone would just settle for no police and live in some horrible chaotic lawless society?

It would have to rely on a method of donation of some form which would basically be a round about form of taxation and if not and it was only a few select people who funded it guess who'd they'd be protecting? Not communities but individuals. Which isn't a police force; it's a bodyguard firm.

I'm not saying it would I just think some jobs require a steady stream of tax pay dollars as opposed to erratic donations. I don't think privatizing certain things would work.
